EMS-Engineer, Lead free alloys have a very low wetting creep. You probably will not ever get the same type of weting with a LF as opposed to SN 63/37. The question is if it is acceptable. Lead free solder joints cannot be inspected to the same crite

Wonder Solder [ TRT-Wonder.com ] is a proprietary silver solder. Some cynics might say Wonder Solder got its name because the people that started the firm wondered if anyone was crazy enough to pay that much for solder. Most audiophile silver solde

Check with Dupont's web site. They have a wealth of information on the various polyimide products they manufacture. I was quite surrised at the differences in materials and in particular the dimensional stability and hydroscopy. Good stuff mayna

The two options I see are (not including underfill): 1) Have complete conformal coating coverage of all balls with no webbing in between balls because of CTE mismatches. If all the balls are not coated we see failure in humidity testing. or 2) Sea

Hi AJ, I've never used the Flexa due to the price. We replaced our MCS with eSMT Software (web site http://www.esmt-software.com/). You might want to look at this if you don't need all of the Flexa features. We have older Fuji equipment (GSP's

Thanks for the reply, Russ. I looked at the Air-Vac web site. I am looking for something that is a lot more basic than their machine. I had seen a small table top wave machine at a customers shop a few years ago. It had a pump and different si
