Alberto: Consider Dymax 911. It�s wave solderable and passes Cl ion, copper mirror, SIR, and electromigration tests. We have heard good things about Masterbond uV curables, but have not looked at them. 911 doesn�t cure very deep into the little d

Dear forum types, 1st timer so be good. I have a customer in China using Coates soldermask that in its self is not a problem. The problem is the flux their using, I think,it appears to have a vary high viscosity. The problem they have laid at my door

Dear Dreamsniper, A big hidden cost in any cleaning system is the cost of diminished production and rework. I assume you are cleaning the adhesive stencils manually since there is no equipment cost in your formula. Manual cleaning of adhesive sten

I have to agree with Wolfgang & Jacko. Two months ago, I decide to run a lead free paste trial. The paste was supplied by company "X", and they stayed on site to witness evaluation. I trialled the paste using EXACTLY THE SAME equipment, stencil and

I am looking for some details about the failure modes in popcorned components. Does the component usually fail to operate. Is the damage likely to extend to the gold bond, wires, or substrate. We have experienced a high failure rate on a subset of

We're trying out 0603 packages on some 0805 footprints (at this stage only on some test boards) since our vendor tells us the 0805's are going to be getting harder to get, and more expensive to pay for. I understand the IPC footprint for the two is

Hello Ramon, This is a very common problem that usually can be overcome. Can you tell me the flux type you are using (manufacturer, and flux number)? Has your board vendor, or type of PCB's changed (are they entec coated - bare copper)? What is t

1/4 thimble! Obviously, you read none of may articles. HASL has more than a simple topographical problem, and so on. You also would know that TCE, while being an important issue, can be overcome as a problem with optimized pad designs. You would kno

Steve, I'm using 5 Sn/1.5 Ag/93.5 Pb Solder wire with a melting point of 300 deg. C to connect my thermocouples on smd components for thermal profiling. I'm using a soldering iron with an adjustable temp. to be able to melt my solder wire. Temp is ab
