Hello everybody, We are in the process of implementing NC process on the wave solder. We have a Sonotek XL fluxing system. Any ideas out there? Solder used: SN100C Flux options so far: 264-5 flux, 270WR VOC-free 9both from AIM solder) The flux ch

All solder pastes are worth consideration depending on your needs. What do you need to do? When you know this, run the experiment and determing what best works. I never have found a situation when/where Indium or Kester has failed to perform. This,

this is all good jay but would WML have to say about this paste? I'm gonna wait for his response before I do anything! I am bringing in some samples of this soon to try for myself. I have a part that the manufacturer says to run with a paste with n

I'm just dying to hear. I think this past will be a contender for us, I'd use it but I allready commited to using the Kester EM907. Maybe after the first of the year I'll look at switching to this paste. Ive never heard of a problem like that, but

Hi russ, I am in the process of developing a "hybrid" reflow profile to solder a board that has LF BGAs and leaded solder. Have you encountered a similar situation before? if so what was the "safe" top side temp for the leaded components that was set

Grant, Newer lead-free fluxes have 6%-10% solids content - more activator, therefore leave more "visible" residues. Old technology tin-lead fluxes got down to as low as around the 4%-6% range (I'm going off memory, so me might be wrong)... You'll

We have recently acquired a Passaat SMRO-0406 oven. The manual is uninformative for oven settings. Can someone supply us with starting points for conveyor speed, Zone 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 temperature settings please? Our boards for a product we manufac

If there is a budget available, rather than looking at a Fuji CP7. Being issued with small strips of components would prove to be a nightmare with this style of placement machine. I would try to consider the Fuji AIM machine for use as the chipshoote

Stencil design and pad layout are key. Too far apart - bad. If your pad geometry is correct, try the inverted home plate. That has worked well for me in the past. That, coupled with a 5-mil stencil. With regard to solder paste, some manufacturer

We are also having some issues with certain small parts. In our case this is tantalum caps and 0402 caps. We had a vendor admit after much discussion that the plating used from a particular orgin was different on the tantalums. The tehory is thatthsi
