Make sure the ground pad is reduced on the stencil and window paned. The solder on the thermal pad can lift the part up, especially if it traps gas. 360-380C does sound insane. I would believe a manufacturer saying 360-380F before I could believe

I recently started a company that uses BTU Pryamax reflow oven (7 heat zones, 2 cooldown). Any advice on creating profiles for both leaded and lead free products? also what can you tell me about oven profiling with this model? i'm told it has buil

We believe that some suppliers replace nickel with cobalt in SN100 to product a shinier, less grainy, more attractive lead-free solder connection. SN100E sales-types like the idea that it is available in paste, bar stock, and other forms; as compare

Yes it is possible, and yes you shouldn't trust boards that have this problem. You're best off baking PCB's this old befor reflow. This looks like barrel cracking, a quick google gives: http://www.eco3.co.uk/e3toolkit/e3toolkit/modules/05/05_04_j_pc

Probably the machine service key is in on position. Put back to left side. This results in the machine speed is very low and the machine can operate with covers open. Key is located by the hour counter or on the hand held keyboard. Hope this will s

Top picture: We're not wild about the 'poor registration,' the differing thickness of the solder mask, and the crud all over the board. But, then again, we don't have a basis for rejection. Bottom picture: No basis for rejection Help us out, what do

I don't like these boards for a couple different reasons. 1. They may be fine functionally but they look like crap. 2. What is our customer going to think when we deliver boards that look like this? They will probably wonder the same thing I do...

The top picture probably won't run. You have black soldermask dramatically misregistered and overlapping what look a lot like fids. Either your machines are going to pitch a fit and not find the fid or they're going to center on the soldermask outlin

Has anyone ever done a tape test to see if the solder resist pulls away from the PCB? Is this an acceptable method for testing solder resist acceptability? This is an issue I am experiencing with our PCBs. I am receiving boards with excess solder o
