Where to find detailed information on fluxes? No one seems to know the real difference between Rosin fluxes with colophan, Resin fluxes or synthetic Resin fluxes, No Clean, Low Residues, VOC-Free, Halide-Free, Water Washable with alcohol base, Resin-

You're correct, for every dumpster full of paper written about solder, there's a sentance written about fluxes. There's dribs and drabs about fluxes in most of the soldering books [ie, Manko, Klein-Wassink, Judd, Strauss, etc] and most of that is ve

Thank you for helping finding a direction for my answer. I found interesting things on fluxes at this site: http://www.smtinfo.net/docs/Electronic%20Production/25.htm Due to the lack of precise and concise information on the subject, I think I will w

I'm having a philisophical discussion with my boss regarding long reflow soak times to improve soldering under BGA devices. Is there anything to be gained by extending soak times at the 150C level from 60-90 seconds to 5-10 minutes? I've never seen

Quality, consistency and labor savings all wrapped up into one nicely packaged piece of electro-mechanical marvel called AOI. Look for the number of templates one can store per component, lighting options, can it do through hole? Look at reporting

Hello Everyone, We are having some problem with Palladium-Silver surface finish. We have ceramic components with the above surface finish. When we try to assemble these on Sn/Pb solder, we are observing open joints. If we reflow the compt for more t

Not sure if this helps but found this site that outlines % of N2 against O2 ppm levels. You need 99.99% N2 purity for http://www.tkb-4u.com/articles/consumables/whatisnitrogen/whatisnitrogen.php Most customers we have worked with in the past run an

Curiously... Shelf-life of the plating alternatives has been mentioned several times as a potential issue in these discussions. Tell me is there a market for a simple plastic packaging which could extend shelf life (and hence solderability) of these
