Questions are: * What kind of oil is this? Where did it come from? * In olden days, we used to pour oil on the wave solder pot to limit dross formation and loosen-up the solder. Miss that stuff, sigh. * Is there oil under the BGA? It's surface ten

We have been using a circuit board in the assembly of HV Tank used in X-ray generator. This board acts as a sealant to the oil tank opening. The top side area of the board which comes in contact with oil is conformal coated to avoid oil leak. However

Assuming your conformal coating material was selected with the intent of living a life in contact with oil, why doesn't your coating meet the IPC-A-610D requirement of that there be no voiding, no breaks in the surface, no loss of adhesion, etc? Furt

Hi all, I will do my best to answer questions on MS2 here. I will try to check back at least every other day. The MS2 does not mix with the solder. It only reacts with the dross. It does not get down into the pumps. It was just formally anounced la

I am seeing reflow around my signal pins after being subjected to a profile of 204c for 1 minute and 225c for a min of 30 seconds. Signal pins are soldered into a copper plated alum. case with SB5 and then silver plated. The pins have a hot oil tin

Greetings all, Dross has no value to the assembler. It actually degrades quality as a clean solder pot provides a more consistent process. Yes, removing dross does remove some metallic contaminates but that is overkill, like throwing away your refrig

If we were talking about a single board problem, we�d be thinking about the laminate, but since you imply the problem is broad-based across multiple assemblies, consider the following machine parameters: * Crank-up preheat time / temperature to driv

Hi Bill You said, "silicon". We assume by your discussion that you ment to say, "silicone". For background on silicone and soldering, check with Dow Corning [517-496-6000]. They make a OS2 [VOC-free] silicone stripper and should be able to give y
