JAX Is right. ROI. How much will it cost to subcontract your assembly for the next 3 years vs. buying your own equipment AND staffing (ie: Process Eng, Maintenance, Skilled operators, etc.). Then, ask how much will it cost you to buy new equipment

Dave's right! Wash the boards RIGHT AFTER reflow, don't let that residue harden. Then you turn around and cure that stuff during the second reflow by not performing the first wash???? wow.... By the way, are you having any problems with white resi
