We are exploring ways to reduce the waste of solder paste. Here are some of the ideas I have in mind: 1) To use paste supplied in Syringe instead of jar. Paste that are opened more than 8 hours will normally be discarded, so we are looking for ways

So, you toss whatever is on the stencil every 8 hours. Correct? How long has it been on the stencil? * If that particular paste has been on the stencil for 8 hours, we'd agree to toss it too. * If paste has been on the stencil for less than 8 hour

Hello, We are having issue with one of the customer board. This is 10 layer PCB FR4 with black solder mask. Coating Ni/Au. Soldering leadfree. We are using 7 zones air reflow oven (zones top&bottom). We have bed solder flowing for this boards. T

Hello I made some test on different oven and problem still occurs. The only progress is that with diffrent thermoprofil ( Ramp to Spike instead of Ramp- Soak- Spike skewed components appears at 1 % of produced parts). With Ramp - Soak-Spike we have p

I have recently been handed over the waving operation here, and am unclear on how to address our recent issue with our Wave. We are using AIM WS-715M Flux in a Foam fluxer, and are using AIM SN-100C in the wave. The problem is on several of the assem

I am not using a solder pallet, I don't think the problem is contamination related, because these parts are on some of our other assemblies, and they're being waved with no problems. The problem seems to be mainly on our panelized boards for some rea

It sounds like you may be thinking of two different test methodologies. What is required? Bare-bard testing, to verify pcb fabrication? Or populated board testing, to verify manufacturing? If it's bare board testing, the fab house should advise a

Our internal designers are employing SMT connectors that utilize a �PCB positioning boss� in conjunction with normal gull wing leads. The use of these devices is based on the advertised ability of the boss to prevent �mis-insertions� and assist in �

We have used thousands of them with no problems. They will not aid in "connector retention" unless you have a shear force at exactly the right angle. This is an advertising joke. They will help with alignment of the connector. Open your holes up so t

Hi Narksh, Well, for a quick over view, I'd suggest conveyors between all your equipment too. Also board handling equipment like bare board loader, buffers, shuttles... It really depends on how focused you want to get. When choosing any part of
