You didn�t identify the type of tape you use, but Kapton or similar tape is not an effective method for attaching thermocouples. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for alternatives and comparison of methods. Two methods for mechanically attaching ther

Thought I'd jump in as I helped develop materials for the FC game. Au/Pb - bumping - talk to Hughes Tuscon about this. They do it and will discuss the process. For Flip Chip Technology here in the States - contact Peter Elenius at Flip Chip Techno

No, there's not a really great epoxy product for attaching thermocouples in reflow. Specifically, what's your problem? From Sanders Temprobe verbage ... Adhesives There are two general classes of material commonly used to adhesive bond thermoc

| Hi | I have been conducting my first reflow profiles. Most of the texts that I have read suggest soldering the thermocouples to a populated pcb. I am finding this very difficult. I have been using a high melting point (Sn5 / Pb95) solder and the

Roger Saunders, President Saunders Technology, Inc wrote a fairly unbiased paper that compared different thermocouple attach methods. You can probably find it on their site. In it, about gluing thermocouples, he says: There are two general classes

High temp paste or not, I feel it's all up to the oven,and/or the stencil design. are there sufficient solder joints, before running the opposite side (are the apertures large enough to achieve a hardy fillet or to small, allowing enough paste to vis

Hi Folks! First time poster to this forum. I would like to construct a small and inexpensive radio transmitter, which I can attach to some external port on my TV receiver, and which will transmit the sound component of the current audio/video displa

This BGA could have gone through the reflow cycle two times as we understand from the BGA manufacturer, during the BGA ball attachment process. (If any ball is found missing, they replace the missed ball manually after applying flux manually and refl

Depending on how wrong the pinout is another possibly a little less ugly option would be to bend the wrong pins up then wire them to the correct pads after reflow of the correct pins. You may want to trim the ends of the pins a bit use heat shrink or
