I will start with the statement that I think it is great that we have the ability to solder SMT components that emulates wave soldered components. With that in mind, I would want to find acceptance criteria to be similiar, regardless of the solder me

No-clean solder paste is definately a trend for tomorrow. However, there are several points you need to consider before you shift from WS to no-clean: 1. Component quality - No-clean solder paste generally (not essentially) get a lower avtivity than

I would highly recommend that you test drive your vehicle before you buy it. Buy a test kit from Topline and have a stencil made. Make an appointment with the machine manufacturer and let them know that you come with your own boards and components.

Home plate apertures are designed to reduce or eliminate solder balls that occur when placing a chip and reflow of the solder. This aperture type is usually desired when processing with a "no-clean" solder paste. The design of the aperture is usually

I am also interested in one of Anthony's questions....How is this different from other "similar" products. After having some experience with similar technology, I ask.... 1. How does your initial set-up address the fact that you are conforming to a

I have worked with the PDR type rework station on and off for 12 years and have found that the IR can offer a lot of advantages over hot air. As was mentioned the lack of nozzels is a great advantage. The back heater takes a while to warm up but on

Dave, Ashok mentioned that the end termination of the component were dull and grey. I have had similar problems with Murata components exibiting the same characteristics on the end terminations. As it turns out, they have some exotic plating material

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

Hi ZJJ, I know exactly where you're coming from on this one! We have a similar situation here with a SiPlace 80S-15, rated at 15K max per hour. In practice, we achieve about 11K. The reason is fairly straightforward. The quoted maximum placements pe

Justin, I would be currious as to your customers application, and if the temperature delta and rate are great enough to cause solder joint failures as a function of mismatched Tce then you may want to consider that even if you are able to identify
