I agree with Steve and would hate to have Ken audit me. "Mrs. Chunks, sure your profile looks like the manufacturers recommended spec, your oven is calibrated to the best you can do or afford, your profiler is also calibrated to the best of your cap

Omar: I dealt with this so called "hot bar" process also, and you're right; it's neither reliable nor repeatable. The goal was to attach a flex LCD display to another flex circuit. The flex LCD was constructed of resin and conductive silver particl

Hi Dougs I worked a bit a few years ago with a diode type soldering laser. I found laser soldering very application specific so make sure you send samples off to differnt companies to see actual results. You can get good results with a laser system

Silicone-based coatings "repel" most foreign,non-compatible materials like peelable solder mask, and rubber or vinyl boots. The result is, uncured material around the vicinity of where the boot was. Trust me. Been there and done that. As a rookie

Hi, I off center idea we used when we started. Get a pasta cooker, and put in vapor phase fluid, and then use that. Place the product in the bottom of the inner pot, and then heat on a small hot plate. When the vapor cloud gets high enough and the

Grant has a good idea, we started that way also. We made a tank out of stainless steel with copper tube coils about 18" off the bottom. Circulate cold water through the tubes to condense the vapor to keep the loss down. We used electric burners under

Russ, By a longer profile you mean a more even slope across the entire profile. Unfortunately I only have a 5 zone oven that is fairly short. How many heated zones are you using? Did you shrink the 0402 pad design and leave less pad exposed out a

I would be far more concerned about the flux residue intentionally left on the board than the �dust bunnies� sticking to the flux. In �perfect� no-clean applications, flux residue, although present, is nearly invisible and marginally conductive. In
