Hello everyone out there in the SMT world. I have a dilema I'm currently running a board that has 3 csp's with a .75 mm. ball pitch and .3mm ball size. And 2 qfp's-160. The stencil is 4 mils thick and I'm using a 63/37 solder paste. My reflow prof

Hi, blow holes / pin holes / holes in joints are usually a sign that there is excess moisture somewhere around the solder joint. Moisture can be in pcbs / components, so try drying them....a simple thing to do is pass a bare pcb throught your reflow

| Dear Netters, | | Can you kindly suggest what cause solder splash in IR reflow boards ?? What are the main causes normally ?? | | | Best Rgds, | Felix | Felix - we need a better description of what it looks like. If it's a spray, usually balls

We use water soluble solder paste. When it gets a little dried out, can we add something to rejuvenate it? Liquid flux? We do not place components, just print and reflow the solderpaste so solderballs, spattering, and other issues like those are of

I have a question about solder paste. When the solder paste lost her tackines (dry out) how can i refresh this solder paste?. Can i add a little flux? or it is ban. I noticed that after reflow solder joints look shiny but i can see some discolour (f

From solder material point of view, a solder paste with slow coalescence rate, or slow wetting rate, will be most desirable. Processwise, allowing the paste to stay at soaking zone for longer time will dry out the volatiles, and reduce the chance of

Some things you have to be sure of... Can you guarantee the LEDS are DRY when you receive them ? They may be packed in dry bags but when was this done and has the LED distributor had them open at his site ? Using vacuum sealed dry packs is a good way

Hello Jebs we started out that way but the more handaling of the pcb the more problems you will have if you can do it in line and have the pcb's stop at some of the conveyors you can do some inspection. yes all of our machine's are in line now we lo

Well i guess you would not have to dry the boards but let me ask this, Are you hand cleaning water soluble flux in a sink? Never seen a cleaner without a dryer. Anyway temp and time for drying is easy to figure out. When boards are dry you have i

I had a solder paste SAC305 T4, with flux loading of 11.5%. After retrieivng out from fridge(5deg) after 48hrs, the paste turn dry (like dry mud? and after double checking the flux loading it becomes 12.5%. Has anyone ever experience this or any opi
