Roger Saunders, President Saunders Technology, Inc wrote a fairly unbiased paper that compared different thermocouple attach methods. You can probably find it on their site. In it, about gluing thermocouples, he says: There are two general classes

Recommended procedure for soldering stainless steel [Atlas Steels Australia]: * Surfaces must be clean and free of oxidation. * A rough surface improves adherence of the solder, so roughening with grinding wheel, file or coarse abrasive paper is reco

Dave, Do you know if such thermal transfer study with CB-100 (or equivalent) is available for review? My customer is pursuing this option and I am curious on how much improvement I would see by specifying a conductive via fill on the board. Rgds, P

We are facing lot of problems with tombstoning in 0201 components. Ironically tomstoning in these components is not occuring while reflow but it is happening when we subject them to thermal cycling test. We have been investigating the cause and thoug

Hi Steve ... There are arguments between fabricators and thermal relievers about adding non-connected copper tabs to barrels in hopes of providing thermal relief, but that's not what you're talking about, I believe. I don't foresee an issue moving t

There are studies out there that looked at gold embrittlement. The overall consensus is to not exceed 5% by weight. As far as the conductivity question, as themo/mechanical creep fatigue sets in, your conductivity will be affected as the joint is s

It is always a good idea to heat the entire board to 100C to 140C prior to reflowing the site to be reworked to reduce warp and localized stress. (Thermal uniformity of the preheater is key here). For a BGA, the laser is programmed to heat only the

Forget all the bickering and semantics. EVERYONE IS RIGHT!! ...but then again, in soldering, there IS no right, wrong, or indifferent... just blame. :-) Soldering is, after all, the most difficult process with the most opportunities for defects.
