We use a single large pad on board and reduce stencil aperture 50%. If you mask/reduce the thermal pad the solder will not wet out to edges and you will still see the part standoff with the open joints. the purpose of reduction is to wet the paste

Since it is in a pallet, I would be sure the preheat temperature is correct across the entire assembly. We've seen large temperatue delta's across assemblies that are soldered in pallets. Could be overheated even or contact time too long. Interest

Depends on the manufacturer of the paste... Rosin-based-flux solder paste usually takes 12-24hr's to fully oxidize with open containers. Water-based flux usually is 3-12hr's, but some have a 24hr open container shelf life... However, uncertain unt

In piggy back on Chunks' comments, what you might wipe it with can be the problem. Alcohol absorbed by the solder paste inhibits the effectiveness of some cleaning chemistries, and driving it into the nooks and crannies exacerbates the problem. If

It a recent occurance and it happen randomly on other area. I'm using senju M705-GRN360-KV and Indium SMQ 90 Leadfree solder paste, we have been using both paste for 4~5 years. We have asked the oven supplier to perform maintenance and inspection, pr

What type of filtering are you using? Your solder inspection should be using Histogram Inspection as the Decision and red filter for preprocess. Make sure your settings are correct and check your binarized image under Histogram setup. you should s

What version of sw do you have? What operating system? I don't think you are referring to filtering when you discuss "red and white." You're talking about the light source. You should have RGB filtering under "Preprocess" in your "Edit Solder Param

I found a reference to Cost of Conversion earlier this year. Basically, the average cost to convert a single component from raw materials to assembled goods is $.08, just after pick and place. After placement and before reflow, repair (solder paste r

Yeah, adopting is the right word. In this new lead-free era spec.'s are made to stay within the scoop of the RoHS directive. The driving force for spec.'s should be reliability. Did you see any impurity level spec.'s yet in wave soldering for Cu, Au,

I have checked the links that you and Will gave to me. I have new info about my task: The task is to summarize the mask aligning methods. The first method: The factory already has an UV machine for the exposure, so they search some positions with a
