If you see flux separation mix the paste with a spatula before you transfer it. There is no need for a centrifugal mixer.

I guess the paste is Leaded hence the 220 Peak temp and the Sn100c is Eutectic at 227C so you need to be hotter to melt the HASL finish or you are relying on it alloying together with the paste which takes much longer. suggest running peak temp of 23

Sure, it's possible to transfer water soluable flux from boards to tray to boards with low residue flux. We have never heard of this try of problem.

Even though you use a no clean process, it is still possible that some type of fluid has created the "short". Production lines are notorious for using cleaning chemicals on PCBs to clean excess flux after rework on other areas. Unless this type of c

you are seeing a typical issue that is caused when such small volumes of paste are printed....there are several reasons for it..the tiny amount of flux in the small deposit becomes exhausted much quicker then it does in a larger deposit ( the flux ma

Hi First I think you have to analize your PCB design. Heavy weight components should be gathered on one side of PCB. As I think, if you want to reflow both sides simultaneously there might be a problem. A chance that large components will drop off

Ashok, a few suggestions.......steel/brass fittings anywhere in the flux line can cause that problem; also, check the transfer tank (if used) for cleanliness . There may be a problem with the pump, if you are using Sono-Tek's SonoFlux system then p

You appear to have two problems working against you at once. One is component lead corrosion that the no clean flux isn't aggressive enough to remove. Do a simple dip and look test. Flux the leads of a component and dip it into the molten solder for

The surface tension of solder you mentioned should be referred to as interfacial tension between solder and flux. According to Antonow�s rule, the interfacial tension is the difference in surface tension of molten solder and liquid flux. Since flux a

Yet Again Dave spills his pearls of wisdom. Dave is correct in the moisture content wood absorbs. I know we have all visited factories with wood board holders and such. I have actually seen wood carts with drag chains. Also, keep in mind static can b
