We use SMD glue to fix our thermocouples to the PCB, pretty destructive method (although boards will stil work), but there is nothing worse then making a measurement, waiting for everything to cool down, to then find an bad thermocouple connection wh

The first reply from Tsvetan Usunov already answered your question - there are no thermals for one side of the chips. You can try to reduce the phenomenon by using different solder pastes, tuning your soldering profile or even switching to different

Gary: It doesn't matter what you use to cure your glue. SMA adhesives are thermosets. This means they become hard on cure and this is not reversible. A couple of things go on with SMA adhesives when you heat them. * Their rheology is temperature

Contact the adhesive manufacturer, or their website. Most adhesive suppliers offer two cure options - one with a belt oven profile and one with a box oven profile. The belt oven is usually a ramp and plateau of 120-150C for approx 2 minutes. The b

If your wave machine has the new style Rotary Chip Wave and the Hot Air De-Bridging Knife options you can expect good yields. However, depending on the PCB design, double-sided solderpaste reflow and selective solder pallets for wave solder is a bett

We typicaly have 6 basic ones we work from. We can not have one as some of our boards are simple smt to Large ground plains to rf shielding. We also monitor board color and component types...Obviously BGA's are treated a lil different. Some boards ne

HI All, Please kindly advice me, I have project that it has DPAK part (MPN:SUD25N15-52 E3 Plating:100% Sn matte)which locate on bottom side (1st reflow), Good wetting for 1st reflow.. but .. when I run Top side (2nd reflow).I found that this D

Dave is correct. Also, you should check the TDS's of the caps and the display before processing to see if they can withstand the process temps, look for a recommended solder profile or info for the manufacturability of the device. On another note,
