What you can do is perforate the board holding rim by drilling holes of 0.6mm (similar to via's). This will reduce the mass and heatsinking capacity, allow excess flux drainage and facilitate convection heat contacting the board through the holes. Th

"Bending nozzles" "Changing dwell times" "Navels" (!!!!!!!!!??????????) And probably not taking responsibility when the poop hits the fan cause "you're just an operator". Not knowing your boards, but estimating your time scenario, I'd say you're sol

Sounds like your company will need to make a "sound business decision." Is this a contract that you guys really want to win? If yes, then Chunks is correct. Jump through hoops for this customer and "eat the cost" of rebuilding or repairing their b

Guys, We have an issue with a Board we are running at the moment. We have 3 BGAs on the board 1 Leadfree and 2 are not. We are running a Leaded Process and the LF part is not available Leaded. What do we do? I reckon that all we can do is try an

Yes.... stop checking on your process.... :) Seriously...if you cleaning the boards after I would suspect no issues. If your leaving the flux on the board (I suspect they are using quite a bit) then I would be concerned. Since the boards have al

We are trying to apply solder to boards with 80 microinches of electro plated hard gold. No components involved, just print 63/37 paste and reflow. The results are very poor on some boards, not so bad on others? Pictures at http://www.sipad.net/thick

Good morning, I got a question regarding Immersion Silver Board Finish. It has been imposed on us by our customer that we must manufacture PCB through the SMT process within 24 hours of breaking the seal on a bag of PCB containing Immersion Silver.

Well i guess you would not have to dry the boards but let me ask this, Are you hand cleaning water soluble flux in a sink? Never seen a cleaner without a dryer. Anyway temp and time for drying is easy to figure out. When boards are dry you have i

I don't have any data (haven't tried this), but it doesn't take much thought to see that determining the risks associated with simultaneously applying compressive and rotational forces to the end of the barrel, not to mention chewing up the copper, i
