Hi I use a lot of preforms for other specific applications. Personally I like indiums product but the lead time is awful and dont often deliver them on schedule. (im in the uk). Some manufactures make preforms out of solder wire that is pressed flat

I work for an R&D company that is starting to do some prototype and limited production circuit cards. We are deciding how we want to build these boards, and we are wondering what we should do about flux and cleaning. We have circuits that run at 15

What, Listen. Everyone know wave solders catch fire from time to time. I've only been a part of these fires a coupel times. Less than the number of fingers on my hands, so I don't think it's any different then anyone elses. Plus I havn't pulled o

We ran doublesided SMT thru Glue and Wave process before and but faced a lot of skip solder. Then the customer told us that they have similar problem when they ran the board so what they did was they print the paste-dispense the glue- place the comp

Thank you for support. As i promised you, I am coming back with the results. The SM used was Probimer 77 with Kester 979 flux. The supplier says that there is an incompatibility and we have changed the flux with IF2009M. Same problem! They have chan

I actually built a dual tank fluxer for my Econo-Pak once to handle the same thing. Not all that difficult if you're mechanically inclined. BUT, for your application I'd recommend just hand spraying the 1 to 4 boards a month with any flux they reco

Careful on fine pitch QFPs. They will be your weakest joint if your parts are no-lead. And don't think you can simply run a no-lead profile either. Depending on your paste, you cannot simply run your profile in the no-lead temps and expect your fl

Calling for an input from the Experts our there. Our customer is questioning the cleanliness of the no-clean product that we produced for them. We were asked to clean the board (localised cleaning) after rework (IC need to be changed due to an up re

I bet your vendor would take it back and replace it for free. Never hurts to ask. Otherwise toss and use fresh - why chance a career on it. Plus, Murphy's law says if you do use it, you will have unexplained anomalies that will force you to questi
