| | We are using a mixed technology process with mostly through-hole parts plus some SMT IC's on the component side and some passive SMT parts on the solder side. We do not have a proper wave soldering machine for doing solder side SMT (double wave

| What oven temperature should be used to reflow solder (Sn63Pb37) on a PC board (0.075" to 0.100" thickness) in 5 to 10 minutes? Profiling - tedious but important. As said, start with the paste manufacturers recomendation which is usually publishe

| | Has anyone out there tried to parylene coat plastic parts prior to soldering them to a pcb? I'm looking at several potential applications where fewer than 5% of my components on a pcb are plastic, yet from a reliability aspect (environmental cond

| Very shortly I will be evaluating OA flux and aqueous cleaning to replace our RMA and solvent cleaning process. I am primarily interested in batch aqueous cleaners for reasons of budget, floor space, etc. I am concerned about the ability of H2O t

| Currently, we are baking any PCB before process on SMT, the 'reason' is to dry any possible humidity that could be inner the PCB, it does not matter if the PCB is multilayer or not. We bake PCB's at 107C for 4 hrs and the board must be process into

| There is a practise within the industry of an Inspector inspecting a board, and that same Inspector performing touch-up. My opinion is that the Inspection and Touch-up operations should be separate functions whereby the Inspector is not performing
