Forgot details: Use a sample product that you will be running in production. Let each Equipment vendor run a test to meet your requirements. Often with each of these machines (MPM/DEK/EKRA) the key machine features are: -2D Inspection (for minimiz

I recently encountered reflow soldering defects on a pair diode package, the smd pad had a green contamination, I'm convinced that this is not oxidation. The no-solder condition appears to be caused by a sloppy soldermask process, although over the y

Hi there!! You know what your QA is doing is right, coz by measuring the solder paste height can avoid the following defects: 1.Insufficient solder 2.Short solder or bridging 3.Solder balls SPC monitoring for paste height checking is required

This could be what we call a "non-problem". If your print is off slightly, yet after reflow there is no solder related defects, it should be considered OK. Move your inspector from the printer to right after the oven. This would enable them to ins

I know this is not the answer to your question but it may help until you get the right cleaning process in place. I have found that kneading the paste with 3-4 double strokes during the first print has aided in bring our defective ppm down somewhat.

Once again, it isn�t the process problem. It�s machine problem. I�ve tried to change all of the parameters: printing speed, printing pressure, snap-off speed, snap-off distance, etc. No any effect. Defect still exists with different process parameter

Alot of QM's and QE's are typically failed Engineers who lack common sense. They don't understand that measuring in DPMO's (versus DPU's) "normalizes" your data for Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA's) so that if you have 10 defects on a PCBA t

You would have to do some extensive testing to really now for sure how much better coated blades perform than OEM blades. Deciding whether or not they last longer is just a function of regular inspections under a scope and accounting for the number

Hi, I am trying to reduce some 0402 cap tombstones. The main cause is the pad spacing is a little too far apart and the parts are as tall as they are wide .5mm I am stuck with the pad spacing for a while. All other parts are soldering well, even 0

Hello Before I say anything. Here is one caveat, I work for a 3D paste inspection vendor, I will not mention which. So you can take whatever I say with a grain of salt. Paste inspection will make a difference if you want to put the effort into it ma
