Hi Just keeping this alive to see if anyone else posts. It seems to me that this might be a degradation due to life cycles of all products/services as they progress from creating high profits to being driven down and down in price. Topped off with

Hi This is a good one. Let me take a stab at it. First remind me, why is this air coming in carrying a charge. I think I remember yet it is always fun. Also hopefully it isn't carrying any compressor oils. There are some companys that make other t

We used to bake [100*C for 6 hours] all of our boards, but no longer bake at all. Before going off, your bake recipe is probaly OK. If anything, it's probably too short. Consider measuring the weight of wet boards, baking for a time, measure, bake

Hi Excellent David F. I don't know about the company CAL is working for but I will tell you that sometimes companies hire a weak talent and convince them that they have a high sales potential. They offer a big commission yet a low salary in the 30K

Hi all, I've got a question that hopefully someone can provide insight. We have a gold immersion assembly that we believe is experiencing fractures or non wetting on a certain BGA. To be sure that it is a fracture and not a wetting issue I would li

Consider: * Sn has a higher melting point than Pb. So the liquidous temperature of this new, non-Sn63 is going to be higher than 183*C. What was the thermal recipe measured on this solder connection? * Next thing we'd do is take problem devices and

Yngwie, In a previous life, I used a mixer made by Malcolm and was very happy with it. We used Alpha 609 WS paste and experienced no separation problems. The Malcolm equipment agitated the material in a non-concentric motion which tends to "fold
