Good morning Bob. Darby from Australia here. We sometimes see an orange peel type finish on our reflow solder joints when viewed under the microscope. Any ideas on what causes this ? Should I worry about it. I use a straight rise profile ( no "platea

Most robust wave soldering machines will cope with lead free alloys. The temperatures in air that we have run has been between 260-265C. In my opinion the dross generation has not been significantly effected. I was doing a workshop for a well known

Tin/silver/copper is the alloy I have done most with and it would seem that it will be the alloy of choice if you look at the people doing the work. There are still some issues of fillet lifting which I have seen on PIHR soldering and the same in wav

We set up and ran this process at Nepcon UK with some success but we used a UV adhesive less than 10sec cure so no heat. Push off force for the biggest parts was over 800 grams. We have had to modify the design rules a little to make it work but it

0402 Components and Solder Paste

With 0402 components becoming more common today outside of the telecommunications industry, our company is qualifying equipment and processes for an upcoming product incorporating 0402s. Having used 0402s in a previous position, I am planning a DOE o

Conductive adhesives vs. Lead-free solders.

Hi Bob, I know that that conductive adhesives have been considered as a lead relacement in the past, but have been ruled out due to cost and other process issues (surface tension etc..) IBM has extensive development data on the topic and had come up

Charles was originally an engineer with Texas when I first met him. I took over running the first SMT course in the UK using his materials. I met him for the first time when I was a boy, the new kid on the block at the Nepcon West conference 12 year
