| There is a practise within the industry of an Inspector inspecting a board, and that same Inspector performing touch-up. My opinion is that the Inspection and Touch-up operations should be separate functions whereby the Inspector is not performing

| I'm having a problem getting good reflow on gold sufaced boards. The profile looks good and I have adjusted it both hotter and colder and adjusted the various times ( soak, reflow ) to no avail. What realy gets me Is that a month ago we built some

We evaluated the OM338 from Alpha and it worked great! Looked like crap, though, compared to the other products out there. When I set the boards out in front of the Alpha sales guy to show him the difference in appearance between his boards and the

Hi, Thanks for all the help guys, and we did a bunch of things to get it working. We raised the pump speed, and also went to a water based flux, which helped a lot. We also reduce pre heat as we were burning off the flux. It's doing really nice jo

| Has anyone ever heard of this? I have a Camalot System 5000 and we were in a pinch to produce some prototype boards. We needed Sn62Pb36Ag2-no clean in a dispensing mesh. All I could get my hands on was some Interflux paste in a jar. The formulation

Hallo Edmund, what does dull mean in your case ? It�s nearly impossible to say something about it without more information. Dull or shiny isn�t a clear or better no indicator for good or bad. Some companies add other metalls to the solder to get rid

| | | | I'm reviewing my board fab spec. It calls for a minimum SnPb thickness of 50 microinches on HASL PWB's. I've looked at other specs that call out anything from 30 to 80 microinches, and others that just say the copper pad must be covered and

Christopher, in response to your request concerning if I have the same issue using OA fluxes the answer would be no. This finish works well with all of our current Water Soluble fluxes. As a note, I have done some further testing and so far it see

| I am looking for a little enlightenment with an issue that we have been seeing. We have SMT assemblies with poor solderability on TSOP and mini-QFP type devices. The solder appears to have incomplete reflow and/or grainyness to the joints. Everythi
