At our facility, we process FR-4 boards for PCMCIA cards (0.020"). The key for us is dedicated fixturing for stencil printing and fixturing for reflow soldering. We are working closely with our customer to better improve panel design, but other than

Re: acceptable defect rates for smt process, in ppm.

Electronics Forum | Sat Jan 15 13:13:33 EST 2000 | Mark Wiegold

Steve, Basically in answer to your question, there is no real set number for defects. Defect rates will vary between products and companies. If my company was running the same product as yourself then there is no reason to suggest that the defect ra

Are you saying you can't send out boards that have been touched up or reworked, or are you saying you can't send out boards with defects on them? 100% is a great goal to shoot for but most people don't expect to achieve it. It all depends on what yo

We have a great deal of new reliability data and we are preparing a full document that shows the statistically valid reduction in solder related defects as well as the improved throughput. It will include all of the SIR test results which are all goo

Best Alpha Lead Free WS paste??

Electronics Forum | Tue Jan 15 11:50:17 EST 2008 | pbarton

We too are trialling WS819 with SAC305 alloy. The foaming in cleaning causes us a headache but all other attributes seem much improved over earlier types. Previously we were using WS619 - no foaming issues but MUCH shorter stencil life (less than 4 h

We'd be unhappy with features that are not in copper that is at the same level as the component pads, because of difficulties the fabricator would have in maintaining registration between the copper pads and the ink used for the features not in coppe
