We do some aperture reductions - but it's not the 10% i'm accustomed to. Looks like it should be more than we currently do (I think we do 10% of length, but no width). Don't think we have a slumping problem, and we're not doing snap-off, only contact

I also have a spreadsheet tool for comparative analysis using criterion weighted scoring. It can be used to analyze any decision, and helps groups reach consensus on why a particular alternative is the way to go. As final steps you can also consider

For those of you out there, like myself who are still using 2-d to measure paste ht, I have 2 questions. 1. Typically, what tolerance are you applying to your ht? +- 1 mil, or what? 2. Are you using metal squeegees, and if so, have you found that squ

Your best bet is to do a decision making matrix. Each company has so many different criteria�s it's hard to pick out which one might be important to yours. Simply pick out your top 5 paste manufactures. Next decide what your "Eliminators" are - th

I am looking for public papers or articles on intermetallic formation as a function of reflow profile. Most solder paste vendors specify peak temperature and time above liquidus, but I am particularly interested in what happens to intermetallic grow

Chunks, For our lead-free eval, we had the same problem with "charred looking" solder paste up the component termination of one of the smaller discretes, coupled with excessive solder balling...this smaller part did see peak temps in the 240 range -

Hi All, I�ve been doing some research on the issue of running lead-free solder paste and leaded solder paste through reflow at the same time. The point with this would be to process all standard leaded components with Lead paste while also processi

First, we expect voiding in imm silver to be similar to ENIG. We expect more voiding in OSP than other common solderability protection. Second, choosing a solder paste, which does not contain resins and activators that decompose at higher temperatu

You don't say how many headers you have to solder. I usually spec in High temp headers and use a pin-in-paste methodology and double reflow. Can you get your headers high temperature?

Today's regular Sn-Pb paste chemistries are designed to run at higher peak temperatures ensuring that your lead-free alloys will coalesce with your regular Sn-Pb solder. That being said, it is do-able to solder both types in one oven. Generally, wit
