At my last employer, we ran a number of tests to make a "Hybrid" profile work (same profile Joe lists) . It worked great for everything but BGAs. The problem (6 months ago) was using parts not rated for lead free reflow temps. As the market fills wit

We agree with Wolfgang. Adding points along his line of reasoning: * Also consider placed component prescience. Sometimes, a mis-pick results in paste on the nozzle, which leads to the next component being stuck on the nozzle and not placed, which

If you hold your board sideways in a 90 degree angle you apply a force of 1 g to your components. 1 g translates into 32 ft / sec. square. This is not too much acceleration for fearless roller coaster drivers but Melf�s and Tantalums can fall off at

Reflow and wave flow solders have to be changed more often because of contamination. Pb free PCB's don't solder as well so you will likely have to find a new process or supplier. The higher temperatures heat soak the components so they all need to be

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

When you ask for data in terms of rework, do you want reflow solder yields versus wave solder yields? Or do you want repair data from each process, or yield data that shows actual glue defects from screen printing versus solder paste screen printing

with this design you will have voids, you cannot trap the gas inside of via it has to go somewhere. These vias should be relieved from pad to prevent the scavenging of the paste during reflow. You may try a thicker stencil if you can to allow for t

Dear All, We are doing PCBA's manufacturing,Inprocess we are doing manual soldering, reflow and wave soldering process, As per ISO-7.5.2 Process validation ( Special process ) Soldering process is considered as an special process, hence in order to

Read Ralph Woodgates', "The Handbook of Machine Soldering." Ralph is a true lead-head from way back, and his expertise is Wave Soldering. I know later editions have sections on that new fangled technique, "Reflow Soldering", but Ralph does a very c
