This is a snip from an ealier post here on SMTnet. Generally, solder pastes are comprised of: 90% solder powder, 5% flux, 4% solvents, and 1% activators [by weight]. Where: * Solder powder, when reflowed, is a metal bonding agent that mechanically

I am looking for information regarding setting up an SMT assembly line. I have recently purchased a stencil paste printer, pick and place, and reflow oven. The main information I need is the paste selection and best finish material on the PCBs. I wil

As an addendum to Daves posting, please consider that: There is no such thing as no residue fluxing. A no-clean must herefore, have benign residues - in other words, they are not as efficient at removing surface oxides to enable good solder joints. S

Here are some answers to my questions after a good research. I also added more definitions that could help understand this esoteric language used in assembly, specially surrounding fluxes and their use. In blue italics are comments and extracts from

Hello Billy, You are correct when you say that you may want to look at the detergent (chemistry) you're adding to the stencil wash. However, "geared for epoxy removal" depends on how the chemistry is designed to remove the epoxy. If it is a "water

Mohammed, The first suggested place to start with your question would probably be with your flux Mfr. Push them! The quantity of dross is effected by several factors: The higher your solder pot temp., the higher your dross level... but don't go too

I hear ya' Earl! I don't know why there seems to be such a push for us to eliminate lead...you're right, assemblers are pretty clean when it comes to lead....actually, the whole industry is, when compared to other industries and the amounts of lead t
