A key factor is underside Pre Heater ----- Conceptronics makes the best in terms of IR Preheat----- Most machines have forced convection from the top and bottom --- the preheater is the key on larger more dense boards. Placement accuracy is also bett

We have this problem with our High Temp. solder lines. Tombstoning is actually the term used in our facility. We found that the component termination width was a main contributor also profile ramp rates. Visual inspection will catch most of these rej

Hello everyone, I am cosidering the possibility of using Low-Melt solder for repair purposes. However, I am concerned about adding a new alloy (agent) to the board that already has the No-Clean solder on it. Also, is the Bismuth in the Low-Melt comat

Ashok, I don't understand what they're saying about the gray joint. Usually a gray joint has to do with too much heat. Also, the higher the temperature the lower the fillet because of the increased viscosity of the solder. Correct? Wouldn't yo

Tuan: Consider Sn 96.5/Ag 3.5 or Sn10/PB88/Ag02 also. As Glenn says, you had better get rid of that gold or you will never have a shiney connection. Not that a shiney connection means anything about the quality or reliability of your soldering. M

Where did you find a BGA 2000???? This machine is not saled anymore. The new one is the 3592 and include a large underboard heater which shouldn't be "under-powered" but this depend of the kind of board you are repairing. If you really want a large u
