I just got done analyzing an old piece of gear with relabeled parts. We had a schematic of the boards, with no info other than the OEM's part numbers and the way the chips were interconnected. It took me no more than 15 minutes with a couple databo

Take a look at Pace and Metcal both have quick recovery irons that are good for lead free applications. Also try a preheater to warm the boards prior to solder. D. David McGee Mfg. Eng. Gaston Electronics 704-822-5031 Phone dmcgee@gastonelectronics.

We have a board that uses 0402x4 RNET packages that we are having a difficult time getting to solder consistently. Paste deposition is fine (using AIM WS353) and profile is dead-nuts. I'm starting to wonder if this is something that we're just goin

The 483 is what we use on all boards except on one where the 353 improved wetting on resistor packs. It worked much better since the parts are LF and this is the same flux AIM uses in their LF solder. Yes, it was recommended by AIM when we discussed

we buy a mpm and start to clean it, and find so much paste in it my help says did they put any paste on the boards or just throw it inside the machine. Some operators waste so much paste and the engineers ask how much did we use, they should be aski
