We use a power washer, blow dry, then lightly oil the links with mineral oil. Works great

Hi The bubble shows only around component body after ir reflow. I think bubble means that there is a moisture. How do you dry the PCB(?) before IR reflow? Thanks Ju-young.

Currently, we are baking any PCB before process on SMT, the 'reason' is to dry any possible humidity that could be inner the PCB, it does not matter if the PCB is multilayer or not. We bake PCB's at 107C for 4 hrs and the board must be process into n

Hi mates, someone told us to use mild HCL acid 5% to 10% solution and submerge the LCC parts into this solution. hopefully this will clean off the varient copper oxide layer on the LCC leadless terminal wall. after the HCL soak, submerge the parts

Tom: Once again - why are you using solvent based conformal coating. 1B31 is OK as a CC but it contains Toluene and MEK!! It is only 35% solids which means you are trying to get rid of 65% solvent. If you must use it due to customers requirement then

@tommyg_fla According to the TDS the recommended coating thickness for Humiseal 1B31 is only 1-3 mils so if I had to guess I would say your issue might be that you're re-coating over the first pass too soon. All the solvent hasn't evaporated and the

I am considering moving my spray fluxer into a completely separate operation. Has anybody any comments of sraying VOC free flux on boards, then putting them in a drier/holding rack for possibly say overnight, then running them through wave solder?

Sorry all I know is that storing the paste Tip down the flux will run to the tip of the cartridge so will be runny initially then dry up as you use the cartridge. Unless the Rheopump mixes it before application

Yes sorry you are right so you have answered your own question anyway. Dry to start runny at the end

The main cause of voids is your flux out-gassing during reflow. Try a little "knee" or slight soak in your thermal profile to dry out the volatiles a bit. Typical soak ranges from 130 deg. C to 170 deg. C for around 30-90 seconds.
