Well Thanks for all the good advise. Lots of different opinions on this one. I took the advise to contact my current supplier of solder paste. They sent in one of their tech people along with a sales guy and we ran without much trouble. Other than a

We currently use a KIC 2000 system to profile on our oven and create our recipes. I had a customer in today reviewing our profiles, and he had concerns that we were exceeding 4 deg. c/sec. on our profiles. The process window parameters that we use

With the current failures of the Medium Power Linear Amplifier manufactured by RFMD (PN: RF2114), can anyone recommend a replacement part. The above part is used in a GPS transmitter, where I only have one recommended part on the part list. The manu

Hi Simon, Thanks for the immediate reply. We really appreciate it very much. Currently, we are using Class 2 for the visual inspection criteria of our telecom boards. In IPC-A-610 Rev. C criteria, there are TARGET, ACCEPTABLE and REJECT criterias.

Hi Everyone. Are many of you using Bravo 8105 reflow ovens with chiller units? What have your experience been like with them. Are they reliable? If you had the choice would you get another? Is having them an advantage with lead free production?

Hi. I am looking for information on storing completed PCBAs in a warehouse environment. My current assemblies use standard FR4 material - 4 to 6 layers. Component types range from 0402s to fine pitch QFPs and micro-BGAs. If I were to store this i

Indy, I found the same findings as you. The claim is that the solder joint may actually look closer to a SnPb solder joint then the SAC alloys. I had commited to the SAC alloys at SMT before finding out about the SN100C alloy. I'm interested in what

I agree re; "always will be some assemblies that must be repaired". This is unlikely to lessen in the near term with an imminent move toward Lead-free. We are currently working with Cookson, PACE, and BEST developing a course in lead-free rework wh
