Short answer: Yes. Depending on the application of the conductive ink, suppliers select different mesh for the silver particles. So, you should follow your supplier's recommendations for printing, for instance: Conductive Ink||PI-2000 Highly Condu

I'm experiencing an impedance breakdown on an 0805 ceramic cap. In the application, the cap is at a 16V bias at all times. The unit failed in an extremely high humidity condition. We are using a NC flux and have determined there was flux underneat

we are using polyimide boards 6 inches x 7 inches, 2.5mm thick, 12 to 14 layers, for aerospace industries. I am using a long bake of 12 hours at 70'C prior to manufacturing or exposure to elevated reflow and wave soldering temperature. If schedule i

Well first off I wouldn't evaluate paste for a wave process. I would use solder bar instead. Flux - top side fillets and no shorting on the solder side, does it clean well after processing if using water soluble flux. How wide is the process win

Hi all, In general, I am looking at restructuring of our rework processes in our factory. Despite all the effort put into design, process, material etc, there will always be some assemblies that must be repaired. Over the years, alot of hi-technolog

This is what we use. 1. we only reball when we experience a manufacturing defect (short, trapped component, etc...)and if the part is expensive 2. No testing is done prior since we only reball parts that have a defective attachment. 4. The reliabi

This paste does tend to solder ball - but short of changing paste you can change your stencil to accommodate it. First, why 10 mils? Seems very thick. What size parts are your working with? Typically you can �homeplate� the R�s and C�s and this

Morning All Attended APEX this year and this quesiton came up quite a bit from users. I had some conversations with my co-workers on the wave side and others at the show. Dross is an oxide, lighter than the metals so it floats just as pmdeuel st

I am using this same flux and haven't had too many problems. I think Russ is steering you right on your wave flow and I would also check the fluxer performance to make sure it's getting to the top of your board. Are you sure these aren't sunken joint

The machine sees a magazine, but with wrong number. somehow one (maybe more) wire from the magazine bus does not reach slot 3, as the other slots work, there is probably not a short, as the magazine bus work for other slots, the problem is probably i
