Ooooo, much better. Tough to say, because of all the variables [ie, different materials, moisture level, temperature, etc]. Plastic encapsulated devices, especially IC, absorb water from the air, which is violently released during soldering. Typica

Michael, By the way, the default bake duration should be 48 hours at 125C instead of 24 hours. The shorter duration was based on a standard that is now obsolete. The current revision of J-STD-033 includes a variable duration bake table, based on co

Doug, Depending on the machines in question, the release characteristics change. Most of the mechanically driven machines simply stop the vacuum by lowering the nozzle and release the stored vaccum at impact when the nozzle starts to compact back int

Hi Nightbull, I'm with Dave. Don't see the need. Good stencil, good operator, reasonable machine with at least manual vision alignment, good set up, solder paste that satisfies you and the customer, regular maintenance, and how can you go wrong? As
