A solder wetting balance will indicate a time of less than one second for wetting to occur to a solderable surface. The additional time is required to get the metalized surfaces up to soldering temperature. A single sided board has very little mass a

Steve, someone somewhere is feeding you a line!! if you increase the draft angle from || to / \ on your laser cut stencil you increase the surface area of the side wall and hence increase the likelyhood of the paste sticking in the aperture. Whats m

Looking at the original post, it seems that the white residue is formed on the board after wave soldering and becomes evident when it has been left standing for a while. From what I understand, it seems that the solids content of the "no clean" flux

Hi, This a dull question I know, but I have a boss who want's an answer... PCB snap-offs: * Design keep them to a minimun to save cost on the PCB * Production want more to stabilise the board when it goes through the process as some PCBs partially
