Ken, With all due respect: Surface mount is surface mount. Whether you are placing 0201's, or PLCC84's the basic concept is the same. So I would surely hope that for the most part my process is transferable. I guess I was too broad when I said "we n

CW, The good news is that you are not trying to use SAC paste with SnPb balls for that would be a void generator due to the ball being liquidous while the SAC paste is still in a flux cleaning stage. Two points to consider: One, voids are not an i

No matter in selective soldering or wave soldering process, higher pot temperature and longer wetting time can increase IMC thickness and joint strength(reliability), but as Daivf said, you need to care if the DIP component and bare PCB was damaged b

The CyberOptics LSM 300 cannot provide true 3D volumetric measurements. It is impossible to measure volume using a "Box" that is drawn around a feature without the same characteristics. Owners of the LSM 300 try it for yourself. Move the stripe ar

Is there not an issue with reflowign the SAC ball's in term's of drivign up the lead contect in a lead free joint that increases the risk of failure in them? certainly dramatically increases voiding... have some pictures of soem that a customer tried

Well, the story is a little more complicated. The product is also an LED lamp made on an aluminum PCB with the LEDs on one side and the drivers on the other. The board itself is not big, about 90x90mm and most of the components are soldering well. Us

Start with targets based on the stencil thickness (for height) and stencil thickness times the aperture size (for volume). * Set reasonable upper and lower control limits (+ 25% and –25 % of the targets, for example). * Next, check the printer set-u

Could this be an opportunity to explore the use of cartridge-type paste dispensers? Or maybe a reason to keep working over the weekend. * Re-Storing & Re-Using “Used” Solder Paste. Though not a recommended practice, used solder paste from the stenci

Hi manchella, After ATC test, two different failure modes can be present: solder FATIGUE (into bulk) or BRITTLE INTERMETALLIC fracture. So, first you have to verify this. Moreover, which brand of SMT paste have you used ? The crack into solder joint
