In rework, your thermal recipe needs to better mimic the recipe that your use in your reflow oven. Oh, that and proper preheating of the board and BGA. [Yano, if you get bored fighting this, rereflowing the board is within reason.] That you are hi

Hi Grant, The purpose for allowing the solder paste to reach room temp before production is to reduce the amount of water absobtion from the air. (e.g. a cold glass of water "sweats" on a humid day)The purpose for mixing is to make the viscosity more

Grant, The only thing that you really gain from refrigeration is a couple more months� shelf life. Refrigeration also seems to slow down flux separation. I am not sure how your paste consumption is, but we use ours up way before the expiration date

Thanks everyone for all the input. All of our stencils do have the PCB # etched on the foil but when operators look for the stencils they are looking for the part # on the frame since they are all stored vertically in a couple of Remstar shuttles and

Hello everybody, according to your experience, what is the allowed or suggested (by Suplliers,or Standards,or best pratics) shelf life for components (SMD/PTH) from fabbrication date to the soldering date ? Let's consider best case when compon

Hi all We recently have a problem with component in package 0805 (capasitor 100nF). I have noticed that after reflow soldering only one lead of the component is soldered. The second one is just laying on the PCB land. We use screen printing process

Hi Folks, My boss has me chasing mischuck figures and I need some stats for a report. All of my machines are humming at over 99% efficiency so theres no major loss there, but still there is a huge descrepancy between stock after its been through ou

Good question - lead itself isn't anything to do with global warming - it's main issue in europe is leaching into the water supply, as we bury our trash then build on it & store our drinking water in it, as we have a much greater population density t

Thanks Cmiller & PR, I am warmed to hear others are doing this sort of thing.......like all inovative ideas, you often stumble into them. As far as im aware the ERSA dual Pot is the only machine avaiable on the market that can do this sort of thing

Hi Liza - polystirene monolayer (blend ?) could be sealed at less presure, ie 35-40 PSI. Temprature could be 165�-170�C. For sure after sealed you shoud make sure the sealing strength (peel strength)should meet min 15-25 N.(bet avg from 25 to 45 N)
