Thanks for the input Guys Yeah the not so knowledgable customer does not like to residues for cosmetic resons. The flux is for lead free process, of the no clean and water soluable type. We have explained to him that technically the residues do not

Sheldon, Tip life is directly related to temperature, IRON plating thickness on the tip, Alloy composition used and operator technique. High tin contents in lead free alloys attach the tips. Poor wetting and higher melting temperatures cause us

Being a typically efficient Swiss based company Swatch started the task of RoHS conversion a year ago. After 2 years of intensive research they implemented the process in mass production in June 2005, they started shipping and found massive problem

Hi, We have spent the day trying to profile our Vitroncis Soltec Delta C wave with the new SN100C solder, but having problems with the heavy pins on some BNC connectors we are using. We have Interflux no residue flux, and we are using palettes, whi

Good afternoon, We run mixed LF/SnPb process for most of out products. Most of chip passives have lead free termination and some of them tend towards blistering issue. SnPb solder wets component in very strange way. Wetting phenomena seems to be abn

Hi. I have product in lead containing process that consist lead free BGAs and also big ceramic BGAs with high temperature bumbs. Pcb tends to bow in a reflow profile, since I need long preheating times and relatively high peak temperature to melt BG
