Ashok: A fine mess you gotten us into now!!! ;-) You have no good options. BEST OPTION: Get the customer to accept the boards "as is." Rework will only degrade the product. Agree to accept all liability related to this solder condition (which y

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

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

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

Hey John: Chrys wrote a good description on calculating flux density a while back. Here is our version of her procedure: 4.3 Determine the amount of flux on the board. 4.3.1 Get a piece of corrugated cardboard and a weighing scale accurate to 0.01

Dennis: On your BGAs: * Never seen voids any place other than the top ... lower density stuff rises. * Our spec on voids says: 1 Voids 1a Voids in soldered balls shall be less than 20% of the diameter of the solder ball. 1b No void shall sho

Yeah, it would be kind of expensive to replace all of your stencils but it's the only real answer. Be sure that all your new and replacement stencils have a home base or home plate shape for the passives. This reduces the paste volume near the cent

Tony: You have choices: * Hi Temperature Tape: Go with Wolfgang ... too tough to control. * Selective Soldering Pallets: Some like 'em some don't. A lot of your success depends on the pallet fabricator. * Screenable Temporary Solder Mask: Wol

Hi Dave, that was kind of a more rhetorical question. Normally paste is used before shelflife expires and delivery time is short enough to get in no trouble. The normal situation is that you try to get your equipment running means constant use of pas
