Mike, The dispensable solder paste is ordered separately from the printed paste because it has a higher flux content. I would not feel comfortable mixing liquid flux into the printable paste. Ask your paste vendor if they have a dispensable version.

Zac, how about the following: 1. Thermal profile for the flux 2. Is your wave leveled? - If you see better joints on one side, you should probably level the machine 3. Just for elimination, do you have another flux, that you could spray on a board

As you already know, it depends on the paste. There isn't really a rule of thumb, but less time exposed it better. The issue is the flux exposure to the air and ambient conditions. The flux can evaporate or absorb moisture from the air. If the paste

Now you are putting your assembly to vibrate with frequency of 30-60kHz. What kind of flux/paste are you using? If it is NC there is no reason to clean. If it is water wash, you should consider a proper way of cleaning it according to your paste/flux

We installed a SonoFlux ultrasonic spray fluxer, replacing the foam fluxer in our Electrovert Econopak wave in 2014. The cost at that time was 16K, installation included. We ran water based flux through it and as long as we kept it clean, worked well

We have used it,, mixed results, cleans well, but can as you would imagine destroy plastic, i've had operators soak product and that caused problems, it also destroys any marking labels. we also use different Saponifiers to remove residues in the pas

Sorry to disappoint. No-Clean fluxes are resin-based. They are not soluble in water. Water soluble fluxes are by nature Organic Acid and are soluble in water AND must be cleaned within a short period after reflow as they remain conductive and corrosi

1. From your explanation it looks like you need more flux. Try to overprint a little or use 150um thick stencil 2. You should consider a little different profile - probably try to have a soak zone in the right alloy and flux range and give the part t

Hi Prem, Voiding has lots of causes, but boiling off flux to quickly really doesn't help, so maybe a more gentle profile. Also you do not need to print a solid block of paste, you can print a window pain style pad to help the flux escape. Also, th

3% NDF. We using 8oz 90 degree blade type razor probes, still same issue. Is there stencil we can use or selective pasting test via so flux will not build in testvia. any help or guidance will be appreciate.
