My company is currently using point source soldering of SMT components. We have seen some problems due to improper soldering and are looking to switch to a reflow oven/hotplate assembly. Our PCB's range in size but are no larger than 5"x5" and we as

Hi, One thing, getting back to the original topic, is you might want to panelize these boards as much as possible, as you don't have too many components, but you have some good volume. So the machine changeover time is going to be an issue. Althoug

I say: �Wave flux needs to be heated to certain activation temps which won't be repeatedly achieved with a manual soldering process. Plus, you won't burn off any residual activator as you would if the board were immersed in a solder bath.� Muse say

The process that burnt the tips up yesterday was hand soldering/touch up of lead-free assemblies. Not even assembly, but just touching up boards that we've soldered on a solder pot...which will lead to another question. We're using SAC 305 WS482 3

I am wondering how to move from hand soldering our ceramic caps to doing a reflow type process. The reason for the change is too many cracked ceramic caps. I have asked our vendors to assemble our boards via reflow but because of our hardware (swaged

I am in the process of characterising a new vapour phase reflow system and am interested to learn if anyone out there has ever come across time/temperature datalogging equipment capable of being run through the entire process (including vacuum) along

I need advices as to how a gap between the bottom of an LED (1209-package) and the PCB can be controlled on a small rigid-flex PCBA? The problem that we experience is due to tight tolerance in the design of our molded housing in which this PCBA is as
