To all, This may appear to be laziness on my part, but I need to ask for some advice. We are in the process of qualifying no-clean solder paste to replace or current RMA paste. I have performed qualification runs and extensive reliability testing

Kris: I can appreciate your hesitance. Done correctly with proper planting and fore thought, the change to no-clean affects every part of your operations operations from purchasing to receiving and on down the line. Two things: 1 Following with y

Hi ZJJ, I know exactly where you're coming from on this one! We have a similar situation here with a SiPlace 80S-15, rated at 15K max per hour. In practice, we achieve about 11K. The reason is fairly straightforward. The quoted maximum placements pe

Throughput is usually measured by how many components are placed over the production day. Making sure it is actually placing parts all available hours of that production day optimizes the placement machines performance. The time the machine is actu

Hi, We have a couple of pcb's with PTH Crystal. We are looking for a spacer to be placed between the metallic body of the crystal and the via pad/land as they tend to short if wave soldered without a spacer. The spacer we are looking for is somethin

I ran this test back in '92 or '93 when Alpha was first pushing to change from Brookfield to Malcolm readings. The correlation between Malcolm readings to solder paste height is good. I could always look at the viscosity reading and know at least a d

Hey John: Chrys wrote a good description on calculating flux density a while back. Here is our version of her procedure: 4.3 Determine the amount of flux on the board. 4.3.1 Get a piece of corrugated cardboard and a weighing scale accurate to 0.01

No insult intended but you are either brave or being bullied by design. My guess is the latter as no assembly plant really likes doing things against the grain of norms. We have done Via in Pad with reasonable success but it is fraught with hidden tr

Dennis: On your BGAs: * Never seen voids any place other than the top ... lower density stuff rises. * Our spec on voids says: 1 Voids 1a Voids in soldered balls shall be less than 20% of the diameter of the solder ball. 1b No void shall sho
