Checks calendar ...nope not April 1st. -The fresher the paste the better the solder joint. Agreed - My dilema here is upper management wants the two lines to share one stencil printer thus saving the cost of purchasing a second printer. They propos

So we have 3 new ITW/EAE Centurion ovens that all have issues when running nitrogen to keep the o2 ppm below 1000. It is always much higher, sometimes gets lower when no boards are loading in. They've had us replace valves and do an upgrade kit that

Hi! I recently remarked on a thread that so-called VOC-free fluxes weren't. As a result, I got three private e-mails asking what I meant. As this seems to be unclear, I'm starting a new thread with my explanation, rather than sending out the answers

I have a question for everyone about component baking. In my view this is rework. The component was manufactured and shipped correctly and should not need baking in order to use it. Some how in storing the component in a stockroom atmosphere (I as

Jason: How did you determine that the deposits are tin oxide? What does this stuff look like? Klein Wassink "Soldering in Electronics" (p. 221, quoting original work by others). States (in effect) tin (or solder) quickly forms a protective oxide

| We currently use an abrasive fiberglass brush to clean the silver oxide off of our substrates proir to asembly. It's messy and tiring. Is there an alternative method, either chemical or mechanical that is cost effective for small (30 to 50ea 6in
