| Has anyone had issues where bottomside double reflowed smt has fallen off in the wave when using voc-free flux? I have verified the hotter profile was not the issue by using an alcohol based flux with no problems.This voc-free flux is also not caus

Hi all, Am new to the SMT process. I'm in the process of purchasing a new SMT Pick & Place machine and am trying to figure out how to perform the buy-off. I'm from the semiconductor packaging background. For any new machine purchase, I'm used to se

there is an IPC standard for machine accuracy and repeatability. Here it is how it works. You have to place certain number of parts on a specially designed PCB(that allows placing variety of parts on big part of the machine work area). After that you

Sounds like your snap off profile needs adjustment. More than likely there is paste under the stencil being transferred over to the board. Try adding a cleaning cycle after every board to determine if this is the issue. If the solder balls go away af

I would like to ask you for help. We use mixed technology and we need to protect SMT components in double Wave. Currently we use the carrier for protection of this component. In this case this procces is not possible to use it due to gap between SMT

HI, we are trying to reduce the noise from an off the shelf pcb that will be used in the mri industry. We have been able to reduce quite a bit of noise using copper mesh but we still have more to go. So we think we now have to consider the board c

Probably not all the overpinted paste is flowing onto the joint. You may need a paste with great coalescence properties so it all flows together, and doesn't leave any on the resist. Does the paste drip out the through hole too ? If so it suggests it
