This is easy! More zones means bigger process window and more thru-put depending on board size. More zones is always a good thing unless you're stapped for floor space. Just remember - the bigger the oven, the more it gets blammed for process prob

Electrochemical migration under conformal coating: That's possible. Very few conformal coatings are water resistant. So, if you have ionic material on your board, standback. Uncured material under several IC: Materials like yours need moisture fro

Isn't that a good reason to use more paste? With just the paste from the balls, do you really get as good a solder joint as with a standard amount of solder paste added? What about voids? Do they go away by not using paste? I am talking about initial

In addition to type of paste, it is also dependant on the enviroment conditions. When you say open jar are you implying that the jar is left open all day and then at the end of shift it is closed back up? Jars should only bve open for about 30 secs

We usually get some mask material from our board house. It cures with heat so it works really well in our applications. Be wary of the "overcoat pens" they don't seem to hold up under heat and thre solder will flow right underneath it during BGA a

We are manufacturing an NPI board for a Customer and they want us to wash the board using a Saponifier wash. However, one of the SMT parts cannot be placed through a wash process. Has anyone ever had to encapsulate a component to prevent water da

Good job to do. The MyData format in pratics is a combined data from 3 different file's, the ".PCB" the ".PNL" and the ".CMP". All this file are linked with data, and all the programs are include, as a big back up. The only way to convert data is to

What is anyone using to clean Siemens ceramic nozzles. Siemens recommends a 20% ethanoic solution or a 20% acidic solution but they can't tell me anyone who manufactures this type of cleaning solution. I was using alcohol but was told not to because

Wood or Black Light is the common way to call that UV ligth used ie. inside "disco" and used for many applications like to activate the fluorescent particels contained by conformal coating material,adhesives, paper money, etc. Any way ask for TL-08

I am very familliar with various lasers and cutting technologies. This is probably the only laser technology that has a chance to do what you are after on FR-4 G10, G11 etc and not burn. It's new ground for them and I'll bet the system is not tooled
