First, where the temperatures that aare mentioned in the original post measured? Second, it sounds like the PdAg component terminations are not seeing enough heat [your soldering iron touch-up proves this]. Your 232*C peak is the absolute minimum s

Hi ! The main problem being faced currently is formation of solder balls - to be precise, these are micro solder beads generally found attached with bodies of SOTs, Chip Caps, Chip Resistors, between pins of SOICs (50 mil) - lying on PCB surface,

We use dry boxes manufactured by DMS Clean Room Products in Lawrence, MA. The phone number on the tag is (508)683-2325, but I think their area code changed to either 978 or 781 recently. We flow dry nitrogen through the box in order to ensure that

If you are doing double sided smt you need to look at a pin chain conveyor on your oven, not just a mesh belt. Regarding vapour phase I'm not an expert, but I've not seen one run with Nitrogen - as I understand it the vapour creates an inert atmosph

We do not have experience soldering to the PVD surface you plan to use. We use Titanium [Ti] stiffeners in wave soldering and our wave equipment manufacturer uses Ti fingers, nozzles, pump blades, and other parts, because solder doesn�t stick to Ti.

At reflow an inert atmosphere is used to mitigate the occurance of oxidation, to me the decision weather to move from an inert atmosphere is based on several things ; PCB surface finish - are you using a HASL finish, OSP or another surface finish and

Folks, I am interested in knowing what level of Nitrogen purity you are running in your reflow ovens for standard SMT assembly? It seems over the last several years people are increasing the Oxygen level in thier reflow oven atmosphere. What purity L
