We use a small DI water generator feeding a diaphram type pressure tank going to a standard dishwasher. We have some filters in-line also to prevent white residue on no-clean boards. I cant think of a good reason to buy a $5,000 board cleaner rather

Hi, I have used these type systems in the past and had trouble with white residue and flux removal under low standoff components. All cleaning systems need DI water and this requirement adds another layer of system cost if you don't have DI availabl

Yes I agree with Russ about someone asking up front and everything else. Two tips. 1. Keep the marks at least 5mm in from the conveyor edges of the pcb so that clamping systems do not hide the mark. 2. Make sure the marks are eccentric around the pcb

Good Day Everyone, I have a Class 3 medical customer where we are seeing solder balls adjacent to the fine pitch device leads post reflow. We are processing these with OA so small amounts of solder balls usually wash of at clean. These however, are

Adam, Is your fluxer giving you good coverage into the holes and to the top of the board? If your hole size in relation to the lead diameter is too small, this may be contributing. I'd check your fluxing first though. Just an aside.....We just sw

Hi Simon, I would recommend a thermal profile on a BGA that is mounted directly over another one. The best way to accomplish this is to drill through the first side BGA to just break through the second side. (assuming you have a board that you can d

Hi, The thing with Formula 1 is that they can afford to throw innumerable bodies at tasks (i.e. 8 people to change 4 tyres, 1 to hold a jack, 1 or 2 to refuel, 1 to hold a stop sign, 1 to hold a fire extinguisher, 1 with a stop watch, and the bloke

Hello Chris, "It sticks up about 3/8" or so above the surface of the board." Is this over the ridgid portion of the PCB or in between? Is it possible to create a support fixture for printing that has relief that will allow the flex to bow downward i

Hi Chris, It sounds like you may have to go with your idea of a relief cut into the stencil. Are there any components that need to be printed in close proximity? Is this a high volume?I used to work at a flex house and we had a similar situation. We

EMS-Engineer, Lead free alloys have a very low wetting creep. You probably will not ever get the same type of weting with a LF as opposed to SN 63/37. The question is if it is acceptable. Lead free solder joints cannot be inspected to the same crite
