| I have a component that is glue cured on the bottom of a pcb. The component is a 1206 size jumper. It is made up of iron/nickel alloy. The problem I am having is that the part will fall off the board during wave solder. Is the component not abl

We are having some difficulty soldering a 240 pin Altera device. We use Alpha WS-609, a very generic profile for that solder paste, and a 6 mil stencil with laser cut apertures (1:1 ratio). This is a 20 mil pitch device (aperture size is 10 mils X 75

Steve- We had the same trouble with 0805 Panasonic film caps. We had some tombstoning and open solder joints (non-wetting). We found two problems...like you, we changed our pad design to meet their recommendation. Also, they were able to suppl

We have some BGA's that don't solder very well. They weren't properly stored in regards to moisture protection. The balls look dull and rough. After reflow there seemed to be a diffinate line between the balls and the solder on the PCB's. I think

LONG TERM Your plans to buy a vaccuum bag resealer and a batch drying oven sound good as you say, but you�re correct. They will not help with this current situation. SHORT TERM If your connections are clean, free of pits and holes with a smooth,

Hi Dason, Here is some relevant information that you might find useful : J-STD-033, section 7.1.2.2 Dry Box : "Components may be placed in a dry box, capable of maintaining 25+/-5C and less than 10%RH. Nitrogen or dry air may be used." In other w

Truthfully, there are pro's and con's for both technologies. (put cost of ownership aside for one moment) Nitrogen won't dry humidified components as rapidly as a desiccant dry box. I'm talking about a self regenerating dry box that uses molecular s
