thanks for the post... but are you sure that the type of mask i mentioned is photoimageable and as i understood can be removed from desired places (pads/soldering areas) using uv and developer (which i don't know what material is it). and also the

No, we not sure if your solder mask is LPI. The article we linked was aimed at solder mask application methods. LPI is the most common mask in use today. So, what kind is it? Green tells you nothing. Solder mask can be a variety of colors.

Hello, about 20mm - some kind of inductance for this week. If I were you, I would check another brands of ovens too. I mean why the clearance is so small and why they want to charge you for their mistakes? I would insist to do that for free. Next

Anybody here please help me solve the problem with my MPM SPM screen printer? We bought a used SPM screen printer recently. When we boot up computer we got a message saying " the mouse is not responeing", and finally the system terminates the progra

Hi, Need help on the CCGA solderability criteria.I've actually run a NPI that using CCGA yet not sure whether the solderability is accepted or not. The alloy of the column is 80/20 and the surface of the solder joint is not smooth and shine. By chec

When the component suppliers specify the cap as no more than 50sec (or even less time)above 200C, is there any way the lead-free profile window will fit if we wil have to achieve a peak temp of 230c for at least 30sec for the lead-free process? maybe

You answered your own question! Vapour phase is the way to go for this. Conventional ovens won't allow this, unless you find away to defy Physics. That's an absurd constraint to begin with: 200C. Most Sn-Pb profiles require 205 - 210 minimum for

Thanks CK. You are right the 200C constraint is absurd, but it's the reality, and the worst is this kind of components will go through lead-free profile. Do you or any body here experiencing the same problem? any body using Vapor phase and having suc

If I read this right, it says 50 seconds or less above 200C. It doesn't say you cannot go above 200 C. Right? if so we do it all the time. We have some Quality gurus here that always blame our ovens for everything form a didle-I-Joe to a Dam-If-I

So correct me if I'm wrong: you are using a conventional oven (not VP, otherwise you must have mentioned), your big electrolytic caps go through a lead-free profile, which requires 30sec minimum at 230, but your time above 200C on the caps is less th
