This is sort of interesting. We had a clock problem with Alpha OM-338 lead free paste. The flux residue was causing a clock problem and the clock was only a few KHz. We went back ot OM-5100 lead paste and the problem never occurred again. Chris

We assemble for a customer that is having an inconsistent low level analog interference we believe with the no clean flux residue from Alphas OM5100 solder paste. We are considering testing Amtechs 4300 water washable no clean paste. We will test bot

I like Alpha Metals OM-5100. Very long stencil life with good results. Jerry

You will probably need to change paste. If I remember correctly the SMQ92J has a post reflow residue of 40%. This is one of the highest post reflow residue levels available. PIH uses a lot of paste which means a lot of flux residue. There are othe

Even though this is a "no clean" flux, are you (or the customer) cleaning the boards? If this is truly a low signal level device, there is no way you will get away without cleaning the flux residue. I do a lot of low-level hardware, and we have to

Good morning all, we have been having some random intermittent connections on some BGAs lately on ENIG finished boards. Can you take a quick look at this picture (link) and let me know if it looks like a possible black pad occurrence? The picture sh

We evaluated the OM338 from Alpha and it worked great! Looked like crap, though, compared to the other products out there. When I set the boards out in front of the Alpha sales guy to show him the difference in appearance between his boards and the
