We are in the process of getting into no-clean paste and fluxes. One important issue in this is sodler balling. I have heard some people say that having a matte finish would help in having lesser solder balls and that the solder balls would not be

we are using solder paste WS609 and OM5100.Relow oven: forced convection type. For WS609 and OM5100, straight ramp up profile is suitable for low to medium thermal mass assemblies and preheating may be required for high thermal mass assemblies. How

Hi netellink, I am not familiar with suzuki machines, but it usually works that way. There is a sign on the nozzle(it could be dots or lines...)and a recognition file for it. So you have to check: - if the sign the machine is looking for is damaged

Coilcraft has posted the following and I am wondering how you folks are handling the use of coils in a Water Soluble world. PCB Washing and Coilcraft Parts Coilcraft tests for resistance to solvents per the following specification: Resistance to s

Questions are: * Does the component take solder when you dip it in the solder pot to test the solderability of the leads? * Can you get full barrel fill when wave soldering a bare board? * Is your flux reaching the top of the board through the hole b

These ovens maintain good profiling as long as you stay on top of maintenance. I had 4 150's and 1 125. The biggest headache is keep the plenums cleaned (very messy). Also the blower motors have been replaced a few times on them as well. If I were yo

I can't picture much of what you're saying, not for nothing, I'm just not connecting. During assembly, solder mask can affected by heat and chemicals. Typically this would be during: * Soldering * Cleaning I will tell you this: Not to defend assem

Ok lets put it this way. If the PCB house used a high quality mask and properly applied it to a properly cleaned surface and properly cured it, then as Dave stated above there are only two things that can destroy it. Excessive heat and overly aggress

We've never heard of seen of such a thing either. We tried a clean sample board and applied con coat. Same process through out and we saw nothing. After speaking with the original operators who was curing the boards he had left the boards much longer

My company has been having issues with a lot of solder balls, solder splash, and flux balls all over a specific board. Now this is one of the only companies that require us not to clean our boards after our work is finished but this is also causing a
