To my knowledge, the 40C was established as the maximum "safe temperature" for all tape and reel packaging. The actual specs may vary somewhat for different types of reel, pocket-tape, cover-tape but you must be concerned with the cover tape adhesive

You should evaluate products from Datapaq, Electronic Controls Design, and Kic Thermal Profiling. Each sells very good reflow profiling equipment. Beyond the straight forward issues surrounding the question of "Does this thing produce a good profi

Thanks for the input. We currently have both the Waverider and Kic products in house. We use the WaveRider on all our waves, and the Kic for the ovens. We want to find a product for our ovens that's a little more up to date than the Kic. I'm looking

We still build a legacy product with a primitive backplane using silver plated fork terminals for outside world connections. After some 20 years of no problems the fork terminals on raw stock PCBs were black and almost unsolderable. Because of the

We are currently reviewing the stencil cleaning process in house, we curently use ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL followed by a rub down with non lint wipe alls ( not good !!).As for drying the screen's, the apertures are blown out with compressed air and left to

Hi Dale, Care should be taken when using compressed air to dry a stencil. Just as high-pressure sprays can bend delicate land mass areas between fine-pitch apertures, so can high-pressure air. In addition, OSHA frowns on the use of high-pressuer a

I�m unclear about the intent of your question, but I�ll take a pass at it regardless. I second the previous poster's commets. [Ya, that's the ticket.] Most chip attach adhesives should not be cured at typical reflow profile temperatures. Check yo

An adhesive, is an adhesive, is an adhesive. Yes most will thin when exposed to elevated temperature, but that's only for a short time. As cross-linking starts, viscosity increases. Having made countless numbers of adhesively bonded samples in the

I used a Blue M batch oven quite a bit to cure in works great. All you have to do is get the board up to cure temperature, 150C normally and your all set. It will probably be in there longer than the time required but at that low temperature it shoul

Dek 265 Get yourself Formflex tooling for quick changeover time. The principle being tooling pins are raised by a combination of pneumatic's and hydraulics to meet the underside of the pcb which rises to print height. No longer will u have to judge
