There are a few emerging technologies that have been growing in popularity for the past few years. Pin through paste, press fit connectors and selective soldering machines seem to be displacing custom fixtures. Most of the mixed technology boards o

Steve , I agree with all the responses you have received. Randy Villeneuve is absolutly correct in all of his assesments and I would consider him an expert with the process , Gris is correct about adding a "heat sink" to the process complicating pr

Randy, Steve & all, Can you guys point me in the right direction when it come to using selective wave soldering...I am trying to get in-depth information on the Pro's & Con's of having our supplier use this process for our PWA's. (I can see there ar

They're IR, bottom side only. Frankly wave solder is not my forte (there are those that would claim nothing is), but I've personally been tasked with developing a process to do reliable, high volume bottom side SMT, so I'm drawing a lot from the tec

At the price of Durapol we'd never get the OK to have them made. The Al fixtures are cheap and a quick turn local item. As dense as the pth parts are I also don't think there'd be any room for any holes which I really think is the answer as far a

I attached a RX picture. A lot of voids and micro balls arround the flux residue. What do you think, relow temperature reflow or OSP poor weeting.? I appreciate your comments. Thanks,

We just did this and are awaiting the results. Solder balling and a burnt looking flux where visual indicators that we noticed running regular paste at no-lead temps.

profile it for the tin/lead paste. The tin in the solder paste will begin to disolve the sac ball. This is exactly the same scenario as 90/10 (80/20)high temp balls found on ceramic bga and many super bga devices (except the sac balls are now tin r

Chunks, For our lead-free eval, we had the same problem with "charred looking" solder paste up the component termination of one of the smaller discretes, coupled with excessive solder balling...this smaller part did see peak temps in the 240 range -

OA pastes are more hydroscopic than NC pastes. Hydroscopic. The capacity of a material to absorb and retain moisture from the ambient air. Sometimes this is compounded if you remove paste from the frig and let it warm to room temperature, because
