Adding to Dave's comments, suppliers of selective soldering machines include Air Vac and Wenesco. I've used both, to solder and de-solder larger thru hole parts, such as connectors and large IC's. They are best suited to lower volume applications, an

Also, check the website for Assembly magazine, http://www.assemblymag.com, they have some good information on the basics of torque. Determining the "correct" torque value can become very complicated very quickly. The same size screws made from differ

Not intending to undercut Mike's offer, but to compliment it. Consider asking Heraeus for guidance about cleaning the residues from reflowing your paste. Some NC flux res: * Cannot be cleaned. * Can be cleaned after a relatively short period of tim

First, we have talked about drying / baking / demoisturizing / whatevering bare board previously. Search the fine SMTnet Archives to get started on recipes. Second and more importantly, you gotta fix this delamination problem. If it is delaminatio

Consider: * Quitting the coating business all together and using a coating service supplier, like: Thermospray Co 800-952-5838 Mike Moninger; Advanced Coating 800-722-1444; Epsco 108 W. 37th St Boise Idaho 83714 (208)389-2000 * Buying a programmable

This looks like it may be a good application for an Air-Vac or Wenesco type solder station. It is a solder pot that has a small motor to pump solder up through a chimney. You can put different nozzles on the top of the chimney, so you only apply sold

Mike: You're correct, but a newbee doesn't care. A newbee is so thankful to just get through the clutter and ACTUALLY have the thread posted [and maybe get someone to respond with something that they can use to get their boss to just shut his BIG y

Hi Marc I too have been using a fully synthetic Motor oil on Heller reflow ovens for a number of years. In our case Mobil 1 5W-50. We have a field failure problem with some 1% resistors under conformal coating where sulphates are dissolving the si
