Cuculi, I'm sorry to hear this. AIM prides itself on our service and support, but clearly something fell through the cracks here. If you would, please contact me offline at dsuraski@aimsolder.com and I will make sure that you receive the support y

250C peak temp seems very high for components. Thermal damage, which is latent like ESD damage, can occur on components at temps as low as 235C. Looking at component specs to see what the max temps are is a good idea I think when doing Pb Free trials

I've seen failures like this with multilayer parts that seem to be affected by high activity flux during SMT (water soluable in this process). High, high failure rate in our case. I'm not sure what was going on with our parts but we thought maybe t

Currently I am using a water soluble solder paste and no clean wire solder. For awhile now I have been pushing to switch to no clean across the board. Can anyone give me an idea of how this will effect production? Switching to no clean will allow m

Thank you PWH, All good points. I use a semi-automatic printing process not a screen printer so if more solder balls and beads are created then I would be creating more re-work and that is exactly what I do not want to do. I guess the best thing to

Just maybe this new diet for the guru will burn a new orifice between his cheeks which may enable him to spew his rational more clearly. His current blowhole does not seem to be working.....RLM, there may be a decision by Tyco soon to produce 0201/04

Good for you smtspecialist and your clean oven. It's always better to be too picky, cause once the goo starts dripping, they'll only blame it on your paste. Mistress? No, gotta keep gender out of the work place. How about "Connoisseur Chunks"? S

I'm having trouble printing leads on a fine pitch part. The lead is only .008". I'm using a DEK 265 with metal squeegee and using WS200 multicore solder paste.The stencil is laser cut and polished. I've experimented with different pressures and diffe

Not being funny here but I understand exactly what you are saying and sounds exactly the same as we experienced. Seriously try a different paste. Give Tamura a ring and I am sure they will give you a sample. I don't have the exact part code but they

This could be what we call a "non-problem". If your print is off slightly, yet after reflow there is no solder related defects, it should be considered OK. Move your inspector from the printer to right after the oven. This would enable them to ins
