It probably depends on the Silver content. We are also using Sn62Pb36Ag2. The paste manufacturer told us that the reason for the small silver content was so that it could wet better to the lead-free component and board finishes bearing silver.

It could be a gold finish problem. The recommened gold finish thickness is less than five micro inches. Gold thickness greater than five microi inches is significant contributor for causing embrittlement of the solder joints. Verify the reflow profil

His suggestion is that you come into the 21st century and buy a data logger rather than feeding wires through the entire reflow oven. That is old school and it is very cumbersome as you undoubtedly know. If you are in a position where a logger is no

90% of the battle with thermal profiling is your thermocouple attachment. That is Process Engineering 101. It's just like painting your house. The masking and prep work will make or break the end result. KIC did a DoE on which thermocouple attach

We seem to have a lot of blowers going bad on our Omni 10 lately. We run PB free and/or elevated sn/pb profiles on a regular basis. I am starting to suspect that the elevated zone temps are causing the blowers to fail. Has anyone else had this prob

Hi All, Is there any way to use ROHS6/6 [Non-leaded] BGA device in Non-ROHS reflow [240 Deg C] temp. environment. I need to do this because Leaded [ROHS5/6] device I was using is obsolete and Non-leaded[ROHS6/6] drop-in-replacement part is availab

we encounter some open joint on the CPU socket after rework. We tried to reflow the boards again (using BGA rework machine) and found that the contact issue was resolved. Is there any risk to perform a reflow again on the CPU Socket boards without re

Dave, To do further analysis we don't have the BGAs of the batch from which we had this issue. We don't face this issue now in the current production lots. The problem got solved while trying to find the root cause. Will keep updated if it occurs ag

I need to setup an oven to run with a nitrogen atmosphere for boards with BGA's, but our ovens do not have the optional atmosphere monitor and controller. Is there a good way to sample and control the atmosphere without the optional built-in atmospe

Thanks siverts, The problem with open the sealed MSD bags before the production, is from the rezone that we don�t know exactly when the production start. If we will open the bags before production there is a possibility that the component will be ou
