Steve, I wave solder most if not all our boards with selective wave pallets. I did not catch if the solder balls were on top of the board or on the bottom but that will make a difference on what to do to get rid of them. Pallets are good and bad. On

They're IR, bottom side only. Frankly wave solder is not my forte (there are those that would claim nothing is), but I've personally been tasked with developing a process to do reliable, high volume bottom side SMT, so I'm drawing a lot from the tec

Hi, I have read many articles about theromsonically bonding to soft gold. Many of these articles state you can bond to 10uinches of gold. I have worked with both Hughes and Panasonic bonders at two different companies and I have never been able to

Sorry at the moment I do not have information but as usual I want to get some hands on sessions going. We were doing a flip chip workshop hands on session for Speedline last week in England. We did the theory and then hands on soldering and underfill

At the price of Durapol we'd never get the OK to have them made. The Al fixtures are cheap and a quick turn local item. As dense as the pth parts are I also don't think there'd be any room for any holes which I really think is the answer as far a

We have found that using the SPC capability of the profiler's pc software helps us identify oven malfunctions sooner than we would normally find it. The ovens tend to compensate for dieing or dead blowers by cranking the heaters on for longer cycles
