Never heard of "special finger marker stickers" for checking wave parallelism. We assume that you're talking board-to-wave parallelism. We use a Durostone fixture with a thermalcouple [TC] in each far corner of the fixture (flush to the bottom of th

I have a number of computer parts with faulty VRAM. I have two high-end video cards and a laptop motherboard, each worth over US$100, and some other parts worth less. They all exhibit symptoms typical of faulty VRAM; that is, they display multicolore

We have a problem child part. Our company was in a pinch and ordered parts from a broker that had an old date code. The leads are very oxidized, and our reflow process is comprimised. To prove the concept, we cleaned the leads with Tarn X and an aci

Ah, the customer is always correct, again. And you are officially �painted into a corner�. Actually, your customer is not correct. Thinking that money is going to be saved by specifying copper component terminations [or whatever in the world they

I have read somewhere of a ratio of component weight vs. surace contact area rule for double reflow soldering. This ratio is the maximum weight vs. surface tension to hold a component on during the second reflow. With this number, a person could weig

Hi, it is not necessary to store MSDs in nitrogen to stop them absorbing moisture, just a dry environment. Nitrogen storage is good for storing devices for many years as it reduces the oxidation of the solderable surfaces. Best option for storing MSD

Your copper corrosion is not good. It indicates that you have not done a good job in cleaning. [We assume this is a medium green color, not unlike the color of the solder mask on your board, that is almost like a translucent lacquer; rather than th
