Solder spattering, solder balls, components "popping" off pads........ Not a serious chemical reaction, however, as replied to by KEN on 12/21/04 in a similar article: "Are you adding liquid flux? Or paste "Gel" flux? If liquid flux: This, in my m

I'm using Kester R520A Lead free solder paste. The flux % stated on the Certificate of Analysis(COA) when the product delivered to us is 10 %. The tolerance is 1%. But when i send the jar to an external lab to determine the flux % it is more than 11%

Hi, What's really interesting about your photos is there is solder paste on top of the component. If it was blowing the solder off the board you would see solder paste splatter away from the component. But the solder paste is on top of the compon

Probably very far-fetched, but I can think of a scenario like this: - machine picks up a component - between vision and placement the part is lost, but the loss is not detected due to oversize tool, which causes the amount of vacuum drop to go unnot

Would like to ask end users or those with experience using infra red rework equipment (specifically when the top heater is IR) the following: 1. Can you successfully rework Package On Package (PoP) type devices? With heat directed through the packa

We have two ZipaTec 460s Selective Solder Machines, one for Lead and one for Lead-Free. This morning we noticed the solder pot was covered in solder balls, and after asking the operator what they had run, the answer was "Nothing." The operator had al

If you're using the Kapton tape to protect the gold fingers from solder splatter, my first instinct is to say,yes, you do need it. I've had the pleasure of paying to have gold fingers reworked in the past. It is not in-expensive; certainly not equa

There are several different technologies in the industry today to assist in the out-gassing of flux cores. On automated soldering systems, there are two main types of perforating solder feeders: - Hole Drilling - "V" Scoring By perforating the so

Hi All, We are in the process of converting from RMA solder paste to no-clean process across the shop. This will allow me to carry my semi-aqueous cleaner out of the building and set it ablaze using the terpenes as the fire water. Then I can go ab
