Hi there Gary, Your solder ball problem is very similar the problem I experienced, but I was using a water soluble paste at the time. It started by inspectors telling me that they were seeing cold solder on some SIMM's that we had built regularly. W

FYI- Toe Fillets have not been required per IPC 610b/c (they are nice to have though). Remember before Solder paste inspection equipment The Solder powder type/size, stencil type, and apertures are what defined volume. The need has not been until rec

Home plate apertures are designed to reduce or eliminate solder balls that occur when placing a chip and reflow of the solder. This aperture type is usually desired when processing with a "no-clean" solder paste. The design of the aperture is usually

Jason, We have been running both the high pressure and the ultrasonic washers for several years and there is no comparison. The ulrtasonic (smartsonic) does a great job on all the normal pastes, and when we changed part of our production to a new ep

We have two E5's, and like them a lot. If money were easier to come by we'd buy one more. Tech. support is excellent, print quality is good (I only have semi-auto clamshell machine prints to compare them to, and it's no comparison). They don't offe

Try buying your paste in 500g pyles cartridges .You can use these cartridges in a standard caulking gun. Also.. have your paste vendor supply you with some empty jars.(They will usually do this free of charge) Whenever you run a job, dispense paste

You state that you need a washer for �pcb washer/cleaner for misprints etc� Is it only for misprints or is it also for post-reflow de-fluxing? I would not suggest that you utilize one machine for both applications. Misprints should always be cle

We use 10% reductions when either the aspect or area ratio will not be affected. We will utilize a 1:1 when necessary. We place a lot of those little Rnets down to 0805 size .5mm pitch and do not see any problems. We use 6 mil stencils almost excl
