Currently trying to get away from using stencil printing. Looking for information on Micro-Dispensing and dot size using a Vermes MDV-3200A micro jet dispenser. I am using a Indium led free solder that has size 6 balls. With a 100 micron dispense hea

Hey Gyver: Oooow, using a pencil eraser has to take time. I would hate to be the person responding to your customer trying to explain the pencil eraser shreds accidentally left on the board. Awww, just spritz it with DI water and wipe it off with

J Rose at EMPF says: The introduction of no-clean solder fluxes in electronics manufacturing has given rise to greater levels of solder balling simply because the opportunity to remove them in the wash process does not exist. They are typically cause

Bob Willis (was the first I knew of) that has a splatter test that can be performed over a ceramic hot plate or the like. The concept is pretty straight forward, using a zoned circle, users can introduce the solder wire at a consistent rate and coun

Hi Any, This is from an earlies thread "Solder Ball After Reflow Process". Date: August 16, 2006 01:52 PM Author: Russ Subject: Solder Ball After Reflow Process Oven settings are meaningless here. What does the board see? It is the paste we a

Wolfgang: Boy it's tough to convey context in this medium, isn't it? Clipped from our paste storage work instruction, environmental effects on paste are: 1a Avoid excessive heat (over 80� F). It causes flux separation, reducing print quality. 1b

At the price of Durapol we'd never get the OK to have them made. The Al fixtures are cheap and a quick turn local item. As dense as the pth parts are I also don't think there'd be any room for any holes which I really think is the answer as far a

so what did we do before X-ray? sound process shouldn't need to rely on inspection. Extended soaks can be used to burn off high temp volatiles but I have never heard of 5 minutes! I have used 90-120 sec. to reduce solder splatter....but haven't do

Are you adding liquid flux? Or paste "Gel" flux? If liquid flux: This, in my mind, is an unacceptable technique. Why? 1. Can not control metals content. 2. Probably not adding the same chemestry flux...as paste flux has many different addi

Hello, I found the previous discussion of lead free profiles on 5 zone ovens very interesting. I had the same concerns, but have recently succeeded in creating profiles on a 5 Zone QUAD oven that have eliminated solder splatter or Solder on Gold w
