We are currently using 0402 resistors and capacitors in our production process. Our equipment is as follows: - DEK 265 - Siemens S25/F5 - Vitronics XPM520(5 zones) - 2% silver solder Alpha WS678 The problem is that randomly some 0402 capacitors are

Hi mates, actually my whole problem, is whether to : 1) To offset the heat-absorb ability of the Pallet, that artifically lowers my pcba temperature, is it advisable to artifically increase the overall, oven zone temperatures? offset by estimated +

Hi mate, AOI seems great for : 1) missing 2) wrong parts 3) wrong orientation 4) x-y axis misalignment 5) upside down placement 6) etc.....? AOI shucks for : 7) unsolder (joint) defect 8) tombstone / tilt My guys are evaluating AOI m/c, for substi

Hi Jacqueline! Do these joints that you're having problems with happen to be on fine pitch solder joints? Are the fillets staying attached to the foot and separating from the pads cleanly? If that is true, are there many vias concentrated aroun

Hi Guys, thanks to everyone for their help and advise! we are running these LCC parts in the 1000's, so its going to pose a big problem to either: 1) tin-plate the oxide layer, 2) HCL away the oxide layer, thanks for the option shown, dun think so

cvrgrrrl Your first thermal cycle with imm silver should be the easiest to solder. That you see copper indicates you did no soldering, got no wetting, produced no intermetallics, etc. Tell us again which components did not solder? Wuzzis "plug" t

In a perfect world, the machines would be maint."guys" for the automation machines. Think "closed loop" system. Anyway, getting back to our reality job, we are still game for automation to improve thru'put, quality, reduce problems. The focus here

I faced problem over connecter's pin that were hot air soldered. This connector has 168 pins ( similar to the straddle connector ). The process is to apply the flux onto the connector's J-leads, and the hot air pencil were then ran thru' the leads to

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. I have tried getting the design changed from the customer but they cannot provide thermal relief as this changes the RF performance and they cannot afford to do that. As for profile it does reach the reflow tempera
