'The emailer on Cold Fusion came that way and we have been soooo busy trying to make sure the Geary's is gone before the date code comes-up that we just haven't had time for munitia like that.' Well, I'd like to revisit that decision, given: * Volum

I use Paste for high temp balls and/or co-planarity/warpage issues. normally I only use paste flux for ball attachment. One down side to paste application is registration and volume anomalies with those little micro-stencils (for me anyway). Your

Hi Folk's, a quick and easy? question. Got a card with PTH edge stiffeners fitted to it so we need to flow solder them. Having problems getting hole fill, mainly I think due to 2 things, poor pin to hole ratio and also a bit of oxide. The question i
