Hello, I am not familiar with Inertec but have some expirience with selective soldering process, My oppinion is that the wave and slective soldering are not the same game. In Selctive soldering process is very important the layout design. If use th

First and fore most is to find your paste manufacturer spec sheets. Read it over several times and let it all sink in. Then call them with questions as they want to keep your business so their engineers want to help you use their product. I assume y

Could this be an opportunity to explore the use of cartridge-type paste dispensers? Or maybe a reason to keep working over the weekend. * Re-Storing & Re-Using “Used” Solder Paste. Though not a recommended practice, used solder paste from the stenci

I've recently pushed the company I work for to switch to a halogen-free solder that our supplier carries, Kester's NP 505 HR, prior we were using Kester NXG1. NP 505 HR performs great on the screen, we have a lot of down time in between prints (we d

We've had our My500 for about four months now, and couldn't be happier. We are a super-high-mix, super-low-volume shop, and the flexibility provided by the 500 over stencils is stunning. So, you buy 5-10 stencils a week? That's 260-520 stencils a

Steve: Wadja mean "I fixed it, now tell me what I did to fix it." Steve, you�re one scary guy. ;-) "Steve�s Longer Pad Theory" - Stubby pads will not make solder flow-up the leads of a QFP100, leaving sparse solder on the pads. Given a choice, s

CK: If you�ve done everything under the sun process-wise at the wave: different fluxes, more heat, less heat, more contact time, and less contact time; and are running out of ideas; let me table some thoughts. � "Don�t mess with Mother Nature."

Dave, to answer your questions, point-by-point: � Just out of curiosity, how are second side, skippy components oriented on the board with respect to the wave? The SMD's are all oriented in the "correct" direction with respect to wave direction(i
