It may seem like a year, but this has been going on for closer to six months. Oh, it's because the administrators at SMTnet think is soooo valuable to us that sales-types have an opportunity to dredge-up and open ancient threads for their self-promo

According with temperature vs. wetting force diagram 245-250C/degrees is better, so lower temperature than 500F means better solder fill. If the speed is too lower the solder suck out form the hole. Usually 120-150cm/min. is good. (2-4s contact

We have a simular problem with Ni/Au; especially whith pcb thickness more than 1.8mm. Note: These boards have been through reflow process also. 1.)Is there a maximum board thickness where it would be almost impossible to get a decent hole fil? 2.)Wi

Thanks Patrick, I our mixed standard HASL/RoHS production area; our customer have choosen Ni/Au plating for their RoHS boards. What You are saying (3.); is that we should be more attentive on the quality of the pcb manufactory. Even if our customer

Thanks Patrick for the replay, No, we do not mix the alloys nor Pb pcb:s/RoHS pcb:s in the case I described. It is simply as this: With both the different soldering processes we facing this phenomenon; but whith the RoHS SN100 or SAC305 it turns out

Not familiar with your machines, but on out Assembleon Opals we take the used cover tape from another feeder and tape it to the cover tape of our cut tape we are loading with some thin double stick tape. The 3m VHB type. Then we wrap that with a piec

Thanks for the reply. I understand the second owner package is $6k plus travel fees. Is there another option for getting the newer software ... at a much lower price? Is the newer software that much better than the one we're using? A do-it-yourself k

Have you tried to restart F4G and/or MCS/30 after flushing the CP4 memory? I have occasionally ran into the comm error after a reset start. Leave the machine on and restart F4G or the MCS/30 whichever normally is hooked up. If it still won't commu

Here's what I believe is happening. The main difference between the HASL boards and the gold plated boards is that HASL boards are pre-soldered. HASL boards need very little flux activity to get good hole fill and the machine settings have a wide pro

I think medical manufacturers are more inclined to proceed with caution because they have so much more at stake when something fails out of the box, or worse yet during a code. A lot of them locally have gone outside for pcb assembly, but stayed dom
