It is difficult to verify our current state. We are building a new factory, I am trying to push to have one common ground. But some old timers prefer to have the electrical ground seperate to the ESD ground. I will check if we decide to have it in

Sorry, I missed out a few point. Is Asahi solder really that popular, even my friends told me that although pricing is higher but able to achieve excellent result. If you have any paste recommendation for my 0402 and 0201 component. Frankly speak

Chris (if thats your real name), For 0201 I only use Asahi from Singapore. If it is 0402 Asahi is by far the best. Kester is mainly used for 0603 and Indium is a good choice for BGA's only (and some QFP's). Just my frank opinion. Hope the infor

For your doubt, i don't worked for Asahi at all, I am also new to lead free change. That is why I need your view on the expertise you had on lead free encounter. If you would liked to share any infos, you can drop me a mail at ongsh05@hotmail.com

Mr Dengler, I think we've become hardened cynics. We should give Mr Ong a chance. I mean, it's obviously just pure co-incidence that Asahi's assistant sales manager in Malaysia is a Mr Ong, and that the distributor Channel Technologies in Singapo

Most Lead Free Solder suppliers are saying that stencil aperatures should go to 1:1 or have no change from previous stencils design. Only one solder supplier seems to be complicating the process....is their solder very different?? Can anyone share st

The reason for going 1:1 with lead free is that it does not spread out like the pb solders. So 1:1 is really not necessary in my opinion. We go 1:1 anyway on discrete components along with other packages. You always have to make sure that the area

We do have solder balling on occasion but it is usually very minimal. When and if this becomes an issue with us we will then utilize the homeplate aperture. We do not wash boards as a general rule. All of our pb free has been no-clean. We can't f
