My guess would be that the adhesive used on the dots contains silicone. We use 1B73 which is also acrylic and it hates silicone. We use silicone RTV to permanently mask around some connectors and unless its fully cured before coating it will cause l

We'd expect both OSP poor wetting and improper reflow recipe to show-up in more places than just this one component. But if those are the only choices, we'll go for 'wrong solder paste.' Ooops, that's not one of the choices. Ok, OK, we'll take poo

Smtnet, I am looking at pros and cons for automated soldering. The application is a simple multi pin through-hole soldering on a high volume manual assembly line. The goal was to eliminate defects associated with missing solder pins which goes undet

Agree with what has been said so far. Check with your end customer and make sure the white haze appearance of the board will be acceptable. You will never get the board to look like it did before you started. It may be clean but it won't look like t

Sorry, but I don't know this brand. Anyway pay attention, because if the chemistry is resin based, is difficult to clean and the residuals may be hygroscopic. So, I only can suggest you to read the data sheet and follow the instructions by the solder

We use the OM-5100 and wash it with relatively good results. Just dont let it sit longer than a few days before wash. We've used Zestron AC200 and A-250 in a batch cleaner set to 140 wash temp for 8-10 min @ the recommended concentrations. We have h

Does anybody know is EPC9 plug-compatible with EPC5? I got one brand new EPC9, but can't bring USOS up. OS/2 boots, but then hangs-up during USOS initialization. I've browsed UIC archives, but can't find any relevant document, even if there exist one

We have an older model CP40-LV that will start out the day with blurry and double vision, then after about twenty minutes of just idling, the vision slowly improved until the machine could find the board fiducials and do a passable placement job. Th

Greetings, We are looking to purchase equipment to rework / repair our circuit boards with BGAs. Our newer boards are starting to have more and more BGAs. Is there any information that "ranks" BGA rework stations? - a kind of a consumer reports for
