I won't say never but very rarely do we have problems with the flux seperating. The way we get around the 1-2 hour warmup time is this: The day before we run a particular job, the last person takes out the paste needed from the fridge as the last t

We've used mostly cartridges for many years and I only saw separation once when a particular paste supplier had a problem. With cartridges it's just thaw and use - no mixing. We have some sites that use jars along with mixers and I've never been co

My group supports a couple hundred lines all over the world. Most of them use squeegees but a few use either the MPM Rheometric pump heads or the DEK Proflow heads. I absolutely hate the enclosed heads. Flux separation, compaction, and the print q

Pressure printing systems Conventional stencil printing techniques have fundamental limitations as regards paste handling: The volume of paste available for printing is limited, so frequent replenishment is necessary Paste is difficult to c

Silver tarnish on lead could compromise the soldering, mainly in case of No Clean process. Make sure components are correctly packaged and stored. Check the vintage ( Manufacturing Data Code) and in order to avoid them to get old on shelf make sure F

weve hand soldered a few components that were tarnished with no problems, also the tarnish is electrically conductive if it helps.

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol

Hi there. We are considering to attach die chip with solder paste to the pcb at the SMD line (we are used to attach it with silver epoxy at the die bonding line before). This is a whole new method to me, so I'd like to have some opinions here. Where

Hey Bud: Moved from that Bi-crap to something serious, eh? Several things: 1 Get in touch with Doug Romm (drom@msg.ti.com) at Texas Instruments. He talks palladium. 2 Review the archives on Palladium. 3 I think you're running light on temps. Eut
