Howdy all. The question that I have is on wave solder pallets. I'm getting quite a bit of flux trapped on the pcb where it contacts the wave solder pallet. I have an appropriate profile for my assemblies, The flux that i use is Kester 920-CXF No Cl

Try Assembl�on. The 2.0 version just came out so the 1.x versions are probably no longer available. I believe they start charging you for it now, but it won't be much since the previous versions were free. If you can manage to track down a 1.x versi

I'm not on the production floor on a daily basis like the other guys here but here's my 2 cents: With a Ni/Au plating the inter-metallic that needs to be formed is Ni/Sn. Ni/Sn inter-metallic requires higher peak assembly temperature and a longer dwe

Make sure your reflow profiles are the best you can make them. You will probably want to, at the very least, get some sample BGA's and boards to sacrifice to profiling. Drill a small hole through the board into a middle ball of the BGA. Also put a t

Do you have an automated line with pick and place equipment that can handle your BGA's? Inspecting the board is a must after profile development. You may send the 1st board to a CEM for X-ray inspection. If you have a consistent process (printin

Hi, Yeah, a google search of Bahodium returns nothing at all, but Guru added a TM, so it's trade marked? It's not the waste of space that's interesting with his posts, as they are a little entertaining, but I am worried someone's going to listen t

Goll dang Guru, I didn't win any money off of you yet but keep up the good work! I didn't know you were pushing a process that converts coal into carbon monoxide and hydrogen! Amazing! Keep up with your seven dollar words. You are a funny guy! By t
