Hi all, I mean after post adhesive oven curing (SMD at bottom side) prior to manual insert of PTH components (top side), what is the recommended storage time prior to wave soldering in order to avoid pin/blow holes and sunken joints issues (pcb asse

Has anyone tried to increase the working height on their Mirtec AOI. We have several MV-2HTL machines and have a few boards that are over 2" tall. I'd rather not leave the parts out and have a secondary step to install them after inspection. I've

has anyone come across labelling of SMT carrier tapes? we test devices in a automated handler, but get some customers asking if we can apply numbered labels to the tape to identify the device, ie one label per device. This seems a bit crazy as the s

Use of a hot air gun to reflow solder that passes tests [after failing those tests] seems to indicate the standard process reflow was inadequate. To understand this better, we'd want to measure temperatures at various points on the board during reflo

We have measured the temperature of CSP solder joint. The peak temperature is 232oC and the wetting time above 217oC is 30s. But we use leaded solder paste instead of lead free solder paste. I doubt why no crack of solder joint was observed after cr

We just started having board warpage problems with one of our suppliers. The product has been in production for some time with no design changes, no material changes from the board supplier. Someone told me once that if the PCB cure was not corre

basically your problems come from the copper balance top and bottom side we are using substrate down to 0.18mm (semiconductor industry/ Bga package / SIp business) you have to respect 5% difference maximum between Top and bottom side otherwise you

It's not acceptable to us. More importantly, you need to determine if it's acceptable to your customer. Recognize that your little IPA scrub does NOT remove the OA flux residues from the board. It mearly spreads them out across the board and under c

If your pots are open you then just need to dry them. Don't hide them. Are they rated for water clean? If not hand solder after cleaning with no-clean wire. Hand cleaning with IPA is dangerous - you really just push the flux around and don't was
