Being cynical in a RoHS environment is dangerous; it might lead to "lead" dependency. I know it's not easy to accept the fact that the lead-free alloys and board finishes solder as well as my ceramic bathtub. By the way what do you guys distrust the

Not really. A new Electrovert AquaStorm 100, in-line machine, is under $60K, for straight aqueous applications. The batch type from Aqueous Tech are like $35K I believe. $120K would be for a high performance in-line machine, such as the AquaStorm 200

Well, 60K sounds a little more like it. Yes, it was the 200 I had been sent literature on, but I did kind of figure that the salesman would throw the highest priced equipment at me first, like it was still 1998 and money didn't really mean much. I'll

I am personally in RI, but my HQ is in San Jose, CA. I can get you more information on the machine(s) and configuration you have though, if you are interested. We are also one of the few Used Equipment guys that will sell on terms and stand behind

So, after the repair of a BGA, you notice white reside on a nearby connector. Correct? [Sorry we're so dense. Long day.] Tell us about: * Flux class used in repair * Flux class used in original assembly Why are you baking the assembly after repair

Can someone advise if there is any risk if we use lead-free alloy wire during rework for Leaded Process?The reason for this proposal is to only have one type of solder wire being used in the line.This will eliminate any possibility of leaded wire bei

Ever notice what happens to a cold drink when you take it out of the cold fridge and let it sit at room temp. It "sweats". I don't think you want moisture dewing on your circuit boards. I think your managers should stick to managing. Leave the

Typical of QE types. They don't know the entire process of qualifying what makes a "good" board (besides FPY), so they just arbitrarily come up with 95% FPY as a benchmark. Russ made a great point that alot of yield issues are design-related. Typi

We are having intermittent faults with BGA's soldered onto an immersion gold finish board with snpb solder. One potential cause I have been informed is the formation of phosphorus crystals. As I am not an expert in this area I have no idea if this is

Good morning Ken, Thank you for your feedback. Just as a clarification, SMD stands for Surface Mount Device. Although my end product, in this case, is a SMD, it might be also referenced as a board. In the other hand, what I get from your feedback i
