We conformally coat over NC solder paste. No problems. We're using a platinum catalyzed addition cure silicone. The only concern with this conformal coating is cure inhibition. You must test the coating over the residues to be sure there is no in

Oooo, I get it. Sorry I am so dense. So, as Johnny Cochran might say, your pads are so slick that the paste won�t stick. So, either: * Someone is slimming your boards with goop that prevents the paste from sticking on the pads. Some plastic bag h

Hi, we are about to change solder paste for cost issue. Currently using a no clean Sn63 solder paste and tried several others, all no clean, Sn63 and Sn62. Want to ask about reliability test: we did thermal shock test for 8 days. The flux residue cha

In case anyone is interested, I found a solution to the problem. The 3 nylon rollers that the overlay tape rides on have a tendency to build up crud inside them. They may appear to function correctly when there is no overlay tape pushing on them, but

DO you have an xray onsite? One suggestion is to check what you can with that machine, i know it wont be able to magnify to 200nm or something, but it will show any ESD damage to the wire bonds or any major cracks of the silicon die. P.s. Most devi

Back in the days when I was in charge of a Paintline Dip conformal coater, I had the same issue with a non-hermetically sealed Potentiometer. We tried to use rubber boots, but the capillary/wicking action of our silicone-based heat cured coating was

You're correct that Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) adhesive is pretty much a cosmetic when it comes to securing components. Beyond that it contains silicone, which produces unsolderable connections in electronics. Further, many RTV seep acidic

If you are not washing and want to stay with a peelable mask the two basic types are vinyl and latex. Although we've seen some silicone and urethanes, they cost more. * Do not use latex peelable solder mask with a low residue soldeing process withou

Darby National published stencil recommendations for their LGA in the "SMT Assembly Recommendations" section of: http://www.national.com/an/AN/AN-1187.pdf Is it possible that Silicon Laboratories published a similar document for your Cygnal CP2101?
