I'm just dying to hear. I think this past will be a contender for us, I'd use it but I allready commited to using the Kester EM907. Maybe after the first of the year I'll look at switching to this paste. Ive never heard of a problem like that, but

with this design you will have voids, you cannot trap the gas inside of via it has to go somewhere. These vias should be relieved from pad to prevent the scavenging of the paste during reflow. You may try a thicker stencil if you can to allow for t

Hi, We have been soldering lead free BGA's onto products with lead based paste, and we have had no increase in defects at all. We have used a standard lead paste profile, so we are not altering the temps anything from what's recommended by the paste

I still have half of a 500 g jar of this paste left. I'm going to give it another shot, but my first experience was not so wonderful. Everything was great until we reflowed it. Our profile matched AIM's recommendation, as far as I can see. The ch

For what it is worth, we are purchasing a dispensing system including a Robotic Arm, Positive Displacement Valve (as opposed to volumetric displacement) and Controller. We have purchased this unit for doing lead free 20 mil dots at 30 mil pitch in s

Does anyone out there have experience soldering > with Pb solder (Sn 63 or Sn 62) to SAC 305 coated > PCB lands (about 50um) or Sn-Cu plated lands > (about 10um). I know soldering Pb free (Sac based > soler) to Pb/Sn coated lands is a no-no, but

Bob, Is Nitrogen a "MUST" for reflow and wave soldering of the Lead-Free Solder Alloys ? And is post cleaning be a great impact when converting to Lead-Free Solders ?

Bismuth Solder alloys * Fatigue life is reduced when soldered to hot air solder leveled (HASL) boards. * Lead from Hot Air Leveling (HAL) coatings can diffuse through the grain boundaries of alloy. * Lead is bismuth alloys can form a eutectic composi

Sure, to be a true lead free enviroment all components need to be lead free or fall within the specifications of lead free as defined by the RoHS Directive. What I am doing is starting stage 1 of our journey. Layed out it looks some thing like this.

First, Voiding under thermal pad is unavoidable(pardon the pun), unless you can find a way to add sufficient amount of solder paste to cover the area, and match that solder volume on your terminal leads. I build HVM qty's of "QFN" components w/ therm
