Have QFP at o.5mm pitch with leads too oxidized for the flux in the paste to de-oxidize(in stock for boo koo time). I saw three companies on the Internet that can "tin" (solder coat) the leads. Does anybody have any experience with having this done t

Our company carries out this service for major OEM and CEM's Our web site address is http://www.retronix.co.uk Every device after it has been re-tinned gose throught a vision inspection system were it is inspected for coplinarity etc, we also re-ball

PETE - Since you are local to ACI/EMPF you can take a run over there and speak with Greg Parks,PhD on ROSA. His phone number is 610-362-1200 x 267 or email gparks@aciusa.org. This method is much better than the "re tinning". They can actually revert

We have had Corfin recommended to us, but have never needed to use them. Also consider: * EMPF uses a ROSA process for solder rejuvenation. Check with Cal [at Manncorp, a SMTnet regular] for the scoop [chocolate, vanilla, or ROCKY ROCOCO] on EMPF.

Yes it's a product from SG Chemicals, it does tin the leads but they stay doll, they don't come nice and shinny. So that tells me it doesn't clean off the oxidation it just add a tin coat to the lead itself, short term results are great but what abou

Dull / shiny, I�m not sure that�s a proper indicator. If �Liquid Tin� adds a thin coat of solderable material without converting the corrosion on the surface of the lead, the corrosion will [probably] continue to increase and potentially affecting t

What is the best way/material to clean leads with 20% copper exposed that have been sitting in a stock room for a couple of years. My process uses NC flux 263 from AIM and I want to stay with the NO-Clean as much as possible!

What is the composition of tin to lead in the "Liquid Tinner"? It's been my experience that the higher the tin, the duller the solder appears. I've used 63/37 and 70/30 that both look shiny, whereas 80/20 does look dull. Just another thought to cons

Now there�s a conundrum. You want the �best way to clean leads�, but you want to use the worst type of flux for cleaning leads. You say, �20% copper exposed� � * What happened to the solderability protection during this two-year storage? Wouldn�t
