Larry, SOTs are a wonderful thing to try and wave solder! They are about as nice as Tant caps. I have found that shadowing is usually the biggest problem assuming that the other wave parameters are good, in your case it seems that they are. Couple

HI all, thanks for the advise.. Electrovert is being used from 7am to 7pm and we do dedross from the surface of the solder bath during lunch time around 12nn. Break Time we just sweep them to the side.. Every two week, we do the solder bath maintena

John, I have had previous experience of immersion silver coated PCB's in place of HASL coated type using no-clean processing with little or no problem at all. All of the process parameters were left unchanged. There is a very minor difference in th

Steve: Someone is trying to trick you. He/she is trying to be very smart, but he/she didn�t anticipate this "dark haze" coating problem. I suspect that this person is someone you speak with every day in your plant. They may be the one that came-u

Glen: As I mention in an earlier response in this thread, I think someone at Steve's plant (or may be in his packaging spec for the fabs) is doing something to leave a residue, but I'm also thinking solder mask ... ENIG can be applied before or aft

I work for a contract manufacture of PCB's, we are also in the BGA rework business. We see all kinds of different size boards, as well as different types of BGA's and micro BGA's. We selected the Conceptronics Freedom 2000 over the Air Vac and SRT. T

I have the situation where we may need to use a variety of reflow temperatures. It seems that the design engineers want us to try a variety of "unspecified" pastes on the products. For example, the first PCB would be assembled using a higher temperat

I have seen this problem several times on several different IP3's... When the MTU is about to pick a part from the tray, the machine will just stop. No error, just says, "producting", in green. E-stop, reset and start again, and you hear air from

Larry, the best paste thinner is the one that your paste supplier recommends. You should check with him. We have no problems removing the no-clean paste with alcohol. If you want to give it a try, make sure you use IP alcohol, not alcohol based flux

I'm not exactly sure of your problem...but I'll give it a shot. I assume the screw is on the solder side of the board. If you wave solder the screw the head will fill in with solder. Try a water solouble mask or peelable laytex mask over the screw
