So, yer lookin' to detect a ~25um glob on the wall of the aperture on yer stencil, eh? Why not wash your stencils before you put them away? That's what we do. Give 'em a quick looksee, then rack 'em, if they're clean. Give 'em anudda looksee befo

I have done that also, It does work well. One issue we had was that the mask didn't come right off during the first wash cycle since it was put on much heavier than the mfgr suggested (.01"). We had to soak them in some water first to soften it up

That is possibley CTE mismatch between QFN and PCB material, the thicker PCB the higher fail rate.

Thanks folks. The current vendor is doing an alcohol wash, top and bottom, then performing an ionic test on 100 boards. I'm not to confident in the testing because the readings for a "clean" board are 25 ugm/sq in and a "dirty" board are 40 ugm/sq in

We've looked at our stencil under magnification after hand cleaning. There is some paste left behind. Machine washing removes all of the paste. Your best bet is to clean like normal, then look at the aps under magnification. Adjust accordingly (a

Jeff: Try this: ROSA. John�s spot on. I�ll add that it is a fluxless method that reduces the oxides in an aqueous solution. Another source of information is: Trench, M., Hillman, D., Lucey, G., "Environmentally Friendly Closed Loop Soldering,"

What is the disadvantage of palladium plating instead of gold plating? I saw many advantage of palladium plating in term of hardness, wear resistance, and price but why most of the PCB Industries still use gold in PCB pad? Thank you

I have been asked a very good question but have not been able to find a good answer. IPC for both PCB and PCBA refer to the X & Y dimensions to measure warp and twist but how would you determine the warp and twist for a round PCB or PCBA?

With poorly cured mask: * Wave soldering: Expect to see thin wavy band of dross imbedded in the mask in the wave solder side. * Reflow soldering: Expect to see a pinto board where the two tones of mask are [1] normal color and [2] a lighter color, al
