Thanks Grant and Dave. I have done extensive work on this and found some of the solder balls and solder flux does match my requirements. We have done many tests and have a good responses for both ceramic and plastic substrates. All is fine as long a

Hi: We started many years ago with totes on shelves 30 reels per side. Then we moved to 12" shelving with reel boxes. 5 reels per box. It was cheap and each was a single location. Great for finding and decrease cycle time in finding parts. Our wh

Solder paste thickness control is more important in SMT process. What controls do you have? I guess if everyone follows the critical control path, then there are always reduced problems. The issue is no one is perfect. Paste tends to be on the stenci

Guys, Solder paste height worries all of us as we encounter the non wets after reflow. More so in fine pitch QFP's. The non wets are not always caused by solder paste height. Many other contributors. Even the pad geometry on te board can contribute t

Yes, components do contribute to the non wets in fine pitch reflow. Oxidation is the main culprit. May ask where it is coming from. Can not say in particular. May be burn in test process or end of line baking, hot / cold testing and need to run DOE'

Solder spattering, solder balls, components "popping" off pads........ Not a serious chemical reaction, however, as replied to by KEN on 12/21/04 in a similar article: "Are you adding liquid flux? Or paste "Gel" flux? If liquid flux: This, in my m

Mrduckmann2000: Why do you want to do this? * Removing a non-washable / peelable temporary solder resist [TSR] is going become very tedious, because they do not release well from small / tight / isolated features. * Clay from washable resists will
