I've never heard of steaming a board either. You said that steaming cleans it better after the wash process. What is the steaming process cleaning that the washer isn't, flux residue, solder balls, or what? Also, try and identify the main difference

Major advance: Productionization of SMT. Minor advances: * Realization and control of solder paste characteristics * Vision alignment controls in printers. * Evolution from mechanical centering [through laser alignment controls] to vision alignment

We have done some trials with Lead free which appear to have gone well. We will be introducing a number of new products over the coming months and it is an opportune time to begin using lead free on these products which will be required by law in the

I need a source to get several thousand SMT ICs re-tined, does anyone know of anyone that can do this for us. the parts are in tape and reel and will need to be repackaged also. We are in a bind the part itself is an end of life component and these w

Hi there all, we are having problems with 2 qfp devices. grainy poorly reflowed solder joints. One 100 pin .5mm pitch, and one 64 pin .5 mm pitch . Both of these devices have a thermo pad on the back of them (pad area soldered to back of device)which

It sounds like the parts are not soldering properly [have poor solderability]. This probably due to corroded nickel underplate caused by: * Nickel that oxidized, while awaiting overplating * Poor quality tin overplate, allowing nickel to oxidize aft

Not sure if this helps but found this site that outlines % of N2 against O2 ppm levels. You need 99.99% N2 purity for http://www.tkb-4u.com/articles/consumables/whatisnitrogen/whatisnitrogen.php Most customers we have worked with in the past run an

In no particular order: Will the failed joints wet when touched with an iron + flux? Is there flux surrounding the joint (post reflow). If no, you may be baking it out premateurely. Is this assembly wave soldered? Where is defect discovered in yo

Both imm silver and ENIG provide flat surfaces that are better for fine pitch placement and reflow than HASL. We know of nothing that makes BGA locations different than other locations when using ENIG solderability protection. More broadly, the pri

We do this every day, We print the bottom side, then the top, and have a tool that presses the connector on. We then process the board down the line. The only tricky thing is keeping fingers out of paste. Fortunately this is a single sided board.
