Hi John, can�t find that one in the archives. Isn�t all the trouble you may get dependend on the way you design the thing? For example, tight fit with with step/ridge nearly zero and clamps for holding down the inner circle to prevent vibrations. F

1. Spec references for max allowable untinned gold near glass seal and case body? 2. Low cost mechanical dip system to facilitate tinning of DIP parts. (Low volume; currently using hand solder iron techniques to allow for max coverage without bridg

The ternary SnPbBi phase does form commonly when Pb and Bi are combined. No special condition required. Presence of this phase jeopardizes the reliability for applications involving temperature near 96C. Using low temperature solders means a lower s

Bob: Please help us understand the effect of changing to lead-free solder paste on our processes better. Compare the following for tin-lead and lead-free solders: * Size of stencil apertures � amount of solder necessary for a reliable solder conne

Bob: Some people suggest different lead-free solder formulations for wave, reflow, and hand soldering. * What are your thoughts on this? * What are the factors that contribute to using different lead-free solder formulations for wave, reflow, and

Wolfgang Tomorrow [Saturday] Lucy and I are getting-up at 6AM, shaking-off the effects of Jimbo's from the night before, grabbing the Leicas and fowl [inclement] weather gear to search for migrating warblers in what is forcasted to be a near-freezin

Thank you, Mr Dave. Specifically, there are tiny balls spreading on the boards ( on top of solder resists, and not encapsulated). They are not near to any land/pad or connector. I do not think they post any electrical problem. They are quite far away

Yes, Pb Free is coming soon... I am studying both Sn/Pb and Pb Free solders. Obviously the profiles will be much different for both pastes. Not to mention that one of my 0201 resistor vendors is switchng to Pb Free terminations in the near future!

One Inspection Unit was from Original Solutions. It was mid way through the line near the Fuji machine. If this is the system contact Mike Feld at OriginalSolutions.com The give away did no require sophistication and dont think there was two AOI unit

I have a board which contains brass spacers. The spacers will pass through the wave during soldering. I found a silicon-rubber cap that can prevent solder climbing up into the spacer. However, the cap influence the wave flow and reduce the solderabil
