Patrick, I learned at a Lead-Free seminar, where the seminar lecturer was a proponent of Bismuth in soldering, that Bismuth is actually "safe to eat" and is one of the few non-toxic metals around.

What's the metallization on the board? We use an immersion tin board and had to increase our profile to successfully solder.

Anything with metal in it can be recycled; PCBs, wire, lead trimmings, used solder paste, etc. There are companies that specialize in this sort of waste. Typically they will provide you with containers and once you have enough waste, they will come p

Simple differences. Both processes require a very similar machine platform, controlled motion, vision fiducial recognition and alignment of a substrate (PCB or hybrid ceramic) to the "image", the image being either a stencil (hence stencil printing)

Extra cooling is better (Alpha recommends -3 to -7 degC/sec) for cosmetics. Less chance of s o called 'cooling lines' that look similar to 'cold' tin-lead joints. (Seems a bit steep to me - I worry about the risk of cracking ceramic caps.) Might be

Thank you for your response and interest to help me with my research work. I am actually in need of the Reel Holder. I am aware of a few services that can package the treated 0402 / 0201 components into a tape and reel. I have also spoken to MidAm

I'm trying to get a better understanding of the cooking process of pcb's. The use of nitrogen in reflow and wave ovens. Seems to have a wide margin of acceptance as a standard gas to prevent oxidation of metals in the board. Has any one heard or us

Yes Rob, I would like to know the type of metal finisching like JST097 or IPC-1066 or IEC .... suggest to do. I would like to avoid i.e. to get Bismuth finish on components terminals that I still have to solder with alloy containing Pb. Also to ha
