Go to the top of the page and enter your topic in the "Search SMTnet" window. It can take some tweaking to get it dialed in to the exact topic you want. Do you mean the paste was on site for 3 weeks, or was it actually out of the fridge for 3 week

Hi mate, "no more than 6hrs in the stencil" for us means: 1) we finish setup of reflow oven, P&P m/c, and lastly the printing machine(includes loading of stencil into printer machine). 2) once printer machine is setup, we rip-open the paste Can pr

Is that 5 top and 5 bottom zones? We use a 4 zone and a 3/4 zone oven for BGAs and have success. I don't believe that the amount of zones is the issue but what type of profile you can get out of them. I will admit that the large ovens are much eas

First, it is very reputable that your supplier is giving you notification of this product change. Second, comments on the previous discussion are: * Sales-types do good things, but most times commenting on technical issues is better left to others.

Hi there. We have had an out of control reflow oven that has allowed its temperature to fluctuate by up to +/- 20 deg C from set point in very short periods of time. We found the root cause of the problem and fixed it, but by then we had already run

Comments [questions] are: * It�s strange that an uggie ol� SOIC, 50 pitch, BIG honkin� solder pad, kinda thang is failing. Sumpin aint kosher, yano? * Where is the failure occurring [ie, lead to pad, pad to board, etc]? Talk about the breadth and di

My question is refering to "stencil life". How accurate is this and is this something I can go by. The solder paste I am using is Kester R562, R562 specifications state that it has a 12 hour stencil life, optimal temp ranges 70-77 F, 35-65% RH. Ou

Hi, WE are making some test with this kind of component and aperture and here what we think. when you use a home plate aperture it's seem that the component is not lenght enought to have a good solder but maybe is our CAD guy that didn't make a

I agree with others here who have questioned the amount of solder and reliability of the joint when using this aperture shape. I have had experience with these with MELFS, and the main issue I've seen comes when cleaning the stencil - all those littl
