Comments are: * Sounds like it's necessary to clean "heareous F381, F352 no clean solder paste" in your application. Consider a paste that may be better suited to your application. * If you're cleaning "low residue flux", consider using an organic ac

EMI shields are no fun! Your process will depend on your design and condition of the shields. We always break the shields into their own process. Because the shields are never flat, screen printing paste and trying to reflow them only caused huge

Here in Rihad, I am in the midst of Pb-Free implementation, and most of our paste manufacturers have advised that with the higher peak temperatures, you need to retain the activators as long as possible. I have changed our profiles to a more gradual

M, The paste height is what you establish it as. You're probably using a laser measurement system, and these depend on where your reference datum is. Some will measure from a silkscreen, a trace, or solder mask. These add height, not to mention H

We agree with Ken's points about off contact / screen versus stencil, but this DHolt is talking stencil [regardless of what is typed about screens]. Comments are: * On "smears under the stencil": smearing happens. It makes us wonder about the frequ

I have experience programming and using the yestech system in a high volume high mix environment. The system seemed to work well until I used a more sophisticated system. When I changed jobs and had another opportunity to spec. in paste and post-r

I suggest to review your board , do both boards have fine pitch QFP's or TSSOP's? . If yes, best approach is to finish board at a time to ensure best quality . You can refer to your solder paste TDS to justify why you choose this approach.

The reject rate of yours could be a number of reasons. 1. Which component types are rejected? 2. From a particular nozzle? 3. If the rejected part will be dropped on the reject belt or reject bin; it suggests that there is a problem with the componen
