We have a Seho wave soldering machine and cannot seem to get rid of dross that is being generated within the solder pot, and is being pumped out in the wave. It is not the same kind of dross that forms on the surface of the solder pot(this is very m

We currently use a silicon conformal coating on many of our manufactured circuit boards and are experiencing situations where the coating doesn't conform. For example, on the sharp edges of components and corners of leads it pulls away before curing

Todd, All liquid coatings are Newtonian - they follow gravity so they do indeed run away from sharp leads and edges. Silicones are generally worse because they have very low surface energy - although this is an asset when trying to get under compone

Dennis, The solder paste is responsible for holding the component in place pre-reflow. Several things to look at: Is the paste accurately printed on the pad? If not, there may not be enough of the component in contact with the paste to provide adiq

Casimir, I have seen exactly what you are experiencing with the Kester 958 on other wave lines. No clean fluxes vary in how much flux residue is visually left behind. These no clean residues are typically not harmful to the PCB, but they are often

Tuan - One of the reasons I suggested pre-tinning (aside from the negative effects of Gold on appearance and reliability) is the known slower wetting of Sn/Ag and Sn/Cu alloys as compared to Sn/Pb. If you don't have to be Lead-free, the high Lead

Hi. man what's your opinion about buying the inspection machine. we have a lot of models but a few of b'ds to produce. the outputs of screen printer was good when i checked with centry 2000 lent. it was almost 6 sigma with the range of LSL &USL i ma

HI. Mr. Dave F First of all I appreciate your advise. Here is the answer to the question you sent. I was considering the solder inspection m/c for a long time. so i bought the LSM2 last year.i thinks it was good for me. further more Last year

To all, This may appear to be laziness on my part, but I need to ask for some advice. We are in the process of qualifying no-clean solder paste to replace or current RMA paste. I have performed qualification runs and extensive reliability testing

Kris: I can appreciate your hesitance. Done correctly with proper planting and fore thought, the change to no-clean affects every part of your operations operations from purchasing to receiving and on down the line. Two things: 1 Following with y
