First, you must determine a few things: 1. What specific de-fluxing chemical are you going to use? Basic required determinations include the chemical�s pH, is it a VOC (if so, what is its VOC content), what concentration is the chemical used in (1

Hi ! The main problem being faced currently is formation of solder balls - to be precise, these are micro solder beads generally found attached with bodies of SOTs, Chip Caps, Chip Resistors, between pins of SOICs (50 mil) - lying on PCB surface,

The operators use SET SEQ and SET SEG. I know all about getting these wrong, because if you forget the "Q" or the "G" you get SET SE which is SET SENSOR. That REALLY messes up our BEC! But then again, I believe our BECs are all calibrated wrong anywa

I have a question about inspection, touch-up, and how far you need to go to get a product that meets the required IPC-spec. According to some reports (i.e. "New Study Reveals Component Defect Levels" by Stig Oresjo of Agilent) the average defect leve

Has any one considered the melting eutectic of the plated part verses the eutectic of the paste it self. Inter metallic solids can form when mixing metals. Thus this causes solder joint reliability. Also a lot of vendors are putting out pure tin prod
