You should specify the level of res based on the effect of the res on the end-use of the product. J-STD-001 defines cleanliness requirements for ALL flux types, including water soluble and no-clean that you mention. 1 There is no equivalency betwee

Hello everybody, Two questions came up during an audit (old topics once more): 1. we are not checking the solder paste volume/pad height after printing - others are using an AOI, but is it really necessary? We just do visual inspection randomly. We

Why measure solder volume? I believe if one understand the process well enough, the effort should be spent on area that will gives better indication of your solder printing process. From my personal experience, a lot of auditor knows little of the pr

Hi Scotty sorry to stir things up but we assemble some seriously high value boards on a contract basis with vias through bga pads. However, not blind vias, so there are no cleaning issues & we use 6 though stencils to provide a little extra paste t

Now that's an approach I've never thought of, inspecting a different portion of each board (I'm assuming that you program a few different patterns and run them sequencially, or something like that). I know our stencil printers don't provide that opti

Don't overlook tools and equipment suppliers and their sales staff. I plan on having an ESD audit done by one of our tool suppliers. I know they will come in and say here are your problems and here are products we sell that will fix them. On the o

Hi Nightbull, here�s daybull speaking. Yes the same question for me, what kind of auditor was that ? What I do in an similar audit situation is simply pointing to, if existing, an obvious lack of performance in certain processes depending on my humb

80??? Whatever leads to you to that assumption? I'd love to see a study stating that. Based on experimental results at our facility, overvolume due to the screener parameters have rarely caused a solder short. so, in conclusion, does one need a solde

Currently in our facility we store used and discarded flux residues from the wave solder machines in 50 gallon drums. These drums are picked up and disposed of by an outside contractor. During a recent audit we were cited for not having the drums pr
