Reading some spec sheets and am seeing profiles for reflow and TTW soldering. A Google search tells me that TTW means "through the wave". Am seeing this acronym on LEDs mostly. I have never seen this acronym before. Why not just wave or reflow so

62/36/2 is used often in thickfilm hybrid circuits where Pd/Ag conductors are used. The idea is that you saturate the joint with the 2% silver and thus help eliminate the leaching of the silver from the hybrid circuit pads or the component. We mix

It has been a while but I think the Mk2 was an upgraded ballscrew. I am a fan of the Quad products but if you are looking to bring production in house using these machines to do it, I would be very very careful and really consider new machines with

Dear All I hope I can get some advice of PCB experts in here.My problem is - after wave, our big board, 640x420x1.7mm, had a warpage when the board was cooled down after wave. PCB was flat while being warm.I had tried with many type of pallet and mad

I experienced warpage on a 7'x 13" long board, unfortunately my oven does not have center support. I use stiffeners on both of the short ends. It fixed my problem. Some of the things I was experiencing with the warpage on the second pass were placem

Hi Rem Woo, ur board is such long one,7'. Our PCB is only 2' long but 3.5kg weight b4 solder. We use wave machine to solder it and PCB was sit on the pallet. all PCB side lengths are pressed by clamps. PCB was flat just after wave, however there was

Not familiar with your machines, but on out Assembleon Opals we take the used cover tape from another feeder and tape it to the cover tape of our cut tape we are loading with some thin double stick tape. The 3m VHB type. Then we wrap that with a piec

Hello Because of the cold weather, we had some troubles with drying out of printed solder paste on the pcb's. The relative humidity in the air declined below of 20%. We have a process window of store the printed board for maximum 24 hours, but with

MSL 3 means you can have the devices open for a maximum of 168 hours in an atmosphere of less then or equal to 30 C and 60% RH. If the humidity is less then 60% then it means the devices will absorb less moisture in a given time, but even at 40% RH y

Am I reading your post correctly? You will print PCBs and not populate them until up to 24 hours later? And you can assemble level 3 components at 30C and 90% humidity, you just have to pro-rate the exposure time. (I don't recommend having those con
