I have been using the Loctite Multicore WS200 with great results for the last two years. We also use the lead free version WS300. I like the flux chemistry (which is the same for both products); it really withstands long soaking times and with very g

We have this panel that is Gold Flash. Am I correct in assuming this is technically a lead-free panel then? We are running a WS paste, and the QFN28 has balls of solder instead of a fillet. My Max temp is 216, and the TAL was between 52-57 secs with

Hi, I'm just wondering if someone have more information about board with immersion tin plating. I search in the archive but didn't find anything interesting. We try it, and we have difficulties to make a good solder joint with the wave. And wi

Yikes! Sounds like a hairy situation there. I've successfully collapsed a Pb-Free BGA (using a Sn/Pb solder paste), with a peak temperature of 220 Deg. C and Time Above SAC's Eutetic point (217) of 17 seconds. Beware of overcooking your smaller ma

Its it possible to post a picture from right after reflow? To see what we start with and compare the difference after 5 years. The grainy structure is not as much a concern as the growth-like appearance on the boundary of the solder. What paste al

Bryan: * Most of our stencils are made from stainless steel that is held by a aluminum frame, attached with epoxy with a fiber glass intermediary between the frame and the stencil. * We use stencils to print either glue [thermoset epoxy] or solder pa

Chunks, I used to work in power electronics, and we had this design engineer who used to "blow moisture" on the high-impedance circuit and test for cleanliness. We were water washing in a OA-Water Soluble environment. He was convinced that there w

Hi, Reliability was what I was worried about. We have not shipped these yet, as we are not sure about reliability. We can ship them in regions outside of the EU anytime so we are ok on that, and because of supply chain delays, we are already shippi

We had problems with Panasonic film caps with a previous employer. The first step was to use their recommended pad layouts rather than industry standards for the part sizes. The second much more helpful resolution was to complain like hell to Panaso

Mario, Thanks for your response. We are building a leaded assembly with hot air leveled Sn/Pb pads on the PCB. In one case the component is a 7.5X5.2X1.8 wire wound ferrite inductor with Au/Sn leads. The second component is an 0808 Tantalum cap,
