| Actually, solder paste adds about 12% to the joint volume for PBGAs, or about 31% for MicroBGAs -- assuming standard (recommended) pad sizes and stencil thicknesses, and paste with 90% metal content (50% metal by volume). Michael, In the "real wo

Love the picture. We are considering the PRC 1500. It combines a thermoflo unit with a MBT 250A which we currently use. Does anyone know the difference between the TF200 and the TF700? This is the first I have seen the TF700 mentioned. Also, what

| | I saw the problem of void in solder bump or in lead less component or some BGA. But I didn't have standard specification of that void is accept or reject? Do any body have the better idea or suggestion of the criteria ? | | | | Thank you, |

| I get white residue on my PCBs after vapor degreasing. No comments on the vapor degreaser. Yes, I still use one of these. I use a vapor degreaser and a 1,1,1 replacement solvent due to the quick clean and quick dry times. Anyway, I only get whi

| Okay here is the deal. I am fairly new to the company here, but one thing I have noticed is that we read way to many fiducials, in my opinon anyway. One for example is this. One assembly was reading 17 fids. Smallest pitch was .25mil I say you

| Hi folks , | Lately we are seeing a lot of rawcards with black spots on the pads - most of them have Au finish(immersion gold) . We did a lot of inspecton after wave solder and found that only (fine pitch) QFP are affected the most. Our inspection

| | | | All y'll: I could use your input on determining when to skim dross from a wave solder pot. | | | | | | | | On one hand, dross protects the surface of the solder from oxidation. On the other hand too much dross may affect solder joint quali
