It is strange that you're having issues while using the same process parameters (including stencil) that worked successfully before. It doesn't guarantee that it's not one of those parameters changing in a manner that's not apparent, but it does sugg

Hi, I need help on how to address the solder wicking on the samtec searay connector after reflow resulting to open solder joints on thick and thermal heavy PCB (4.4mm and 6.3mm). I increased my solder paste thickness to 8 mils, the connector is manua

There are two areas that are important when discussing cooling rate. One is the rate thru the liquidus, where a fast rate produces small grains in the metal and a slow rate results in larger grains. Although smaller grains are stronger normal SM

I work with small batches and this is what I do. However I don't do it because of the paste. Instead I do it because I am the sole operator on the line and I want one process finished so I can keep a better eye on the others. I specifically work with

To predict whether or not a first pass part is going to come off during the second pass you need to calculate the ratio of weight/soldered surface area. According to a couple of different sources that I've dug up, maximum is around 44 grams/in.^2. I

I want to avoid peoples preferences as they will differ and will not be a deciding factor. A heat gun will introduce risk to surrounding PTH components and having to add protection for those, will limit any gain in productivity. There is no question

I have replaced both cards on the machine and the card in the PC. I have also replaced the cable. I can see where the machine is sending the request for data (by the screen shoots above). And I can see the PC is seeing something from the machine by

Hi Printer is DEK265GS if I remember correctly. It is definitely not a programing problem, I have 15 different screens which I've checked and all are working fine. It is also not a problem with Y shift, as I've compensated it with CUSTOM SCREEN o

Things are a little different in the UK. Here the rules (currently) say work from home if you can. That basically means anywhere like a factory or warehouse can remain open providing they can offer a safe working environment. So measures such as ext
