Wow, you're very correct. I guess we use silicone to calibrate our machine, as follows: XPS spectral measurements of dimethyl silicone should include O(2s) at 25 eV, Si(2p) at 102 eV, Si(2s) at 153 eV, C(1s) at 285 eV, and O(1s) at 533 eV. The C(1s

I may have the oppurtunity to purchase a AAT Microjet machine with the Mach II drying capability. I like the theoretical cleaning/drying capability and power consumption advantages this machine could give us. The relative small footprint is also a

Watch your dwell time especially if larger components. Problem is normally associated with lower temp as well as insufficient flux coverage with larger massed boards or ground planes. Try to hand spray a board to check that fluxer operation is OK. If

It does sound like your leads are to long, speeding it up will reduce volume on lead and most will wick up the joint but when slow excess solder is left as long leads will have little flux left to aid drainage when it leaves the wave, thus giving a s

Could anyone give me a basic profile temperature settings for a conceptronics 7 zone oven and speed? I have the first couple of zones ramped up to get to the soak temperatures. Is this correct or should I start out with low temperatures and graduall

This may make it easy, Do you really need soak? Or can you just ramp to reflow. Most pastes that I am aware of perform just as well using the linear ramp as opposed to the ramp/soak /spike. Now, out of curiosity how are you attaching the thermocou

Aspect ratio = width of aperture divided by height. E.G. 6 mil stencil at 9 mil wide = aspect ratio of 1.5. Value should be 1.5 min. Area ratio - use when length and width of pad are roughly same dimension like for BGAs and 0805 and smaller R-nets

Your solders could have vasty different liquidous points. Check with your suppliers to determine the appropriateness of the materials you have selected. Awhile ago Jim Zanolli at Teka hosted an OnBoard Forum here at SMTnet. He'd be happy to give y

Depends on your Material (Chemistry) and Machine. We use a hot plate with the material in an "L" patern. The Hot plate is used only in aiding the capillary action. Also, is time an issue?? Here is a good paper from Asymtek that was poster in Advan

That has to be the worst of all worlds. Someone goes out and buys the cheapest parts they can find, gives them to you [Loz], and wants you to assemble a perfect product. Well, it would be nice if you could console yourself by making Derick Jetter m
