Kevin: We know of no handy approach to developing recipes. * Certainly programs provided by profiler suppliers give you a good first pass, based on your oven and solder paste. * Second pass in developing your recipe comes through trail and error chan

We run into that issue all the time. If a corrective action must be done right away. Place Kapton tape on the bottom side of the board to cap off the via. If you have room to place tape if not use pink lady or something to plug the via. And weathe

I have done this before, We print with a 5-6mil stencil and have had no problems with any underneath solder. If you are still nervous instead of removing from stencil use some 3 mil kapton tape or equivelant and tape off the BGA pads. This way the

Daniele The other repsonses have it right. The junction of the wires measures the temperature. If your poduct needs to be re-used I would suggest either kapton tape or aluminim tape(the better of the two). If this is your "golden board" I would

90% of the battle with thermal profiling is your thermocouple attachment. That is Process Engineering 101. It's just like painting your house. The masking and prep work will make or break the end result. KIC did a DoE on which thermocouple attach

HI All We have some products that we apply kapton tape to the goldfingers prior to the SMT process. This is currently done manually. It is labor intensive and I am looking for an automated method to apply tape to the gold fingers. If anyone has a

Hi, I'm trying to find quick and reliable method to keep thermocouple ball on the PCB to get best result from the profiling I use Kepton tape, working well but needs frequent checking if it is still glued well (seems to peel of in time) any other

| My guess would be trapped flux continuing to be active after soldering. Is the tarnish there immediately after exiting the machine? Do you remove the mask and wash right away? If the solder is reflowing under the mask on the component side it wo
