We changed paste manufacturers rather recently and are now seeing SOT23s falling off after wave solder. These parts have a dual process... we stencil print paste, apply glue, populate then reflow. Only SOT23s fall off, chips are fine. We do not be

We run our process like that all the time paste then glue we use same profile as if we were just reflowing paste once in a while we have A plastic bodied part that has that problem we asume it was some mold relase still on the part basicly comtamena

Kester R562 is a 63/37 paste. Not ideal for no-lead parts. I bet you are seeing no-lead BGAs and they will become very weak using your old proile and paste (been there - done that). You can try a hotter profile but will probably just burn off your

I'd agree. I wouldn't be able to turn significant volume in that short a time span....but, then again, I don't see a lot of people that need significant volumes in that sort of time span. And, agreed on turn-key. I've done a couple of tk jobs in t

Depends on the solder paste. If it has been on the stencil for 24h there is a good chance that the paste is destroyed. You can however check if it has not dried out too much by letting the stencil printer do a few strokes and see if the paste still h

We'd guess that since your board fabricator could not remove this stuff with it's HAL-leaded process, you're unlikely to remove it with your soldering process that is likely to be pansy-ass compared to your fabricator HAL process. Hey, why not run a

We have a Juki KE-740 I would like to use a HP-612 Inkjet printer instead of a dot matrix printer to print out the production info, is this possible, I don't see the option to load printer drivers on the menu, and the Inkjet doesn't print correctly.

Can anyone help me determine the acceptability level for lead deformation (see attachment). The outer two leads on the left side were bent during the pick and place centering operation. I've looked in the IPC-A-610 book and could only find informa

Your image does not clearly explain the problem. However, I can see a good heel fillet formation at the joint. In general, TSOP leads are delicate and should handled with immense caution and good ESD protection. First let us be clear that any "rework

Hi Small ovens work fine if the settings are correct and I seriously doubt 55cm/min is right. Profile it and speed down to around 35cm/min. Increase first zone to around 170 keep second at 208 but increase last to around 280 BUT profile to check it
