| What's wrong with the Tin? Just wondering | | MDCox | | | | Electroless silver had promise, from Alpha, but I don't know where this ended up. Also Omikron's "white" electroless tin is proported to be a good alternative, though I've never been a

Hi, I have a customer who's electronic assemblies produce RF. He is insisting upon aqueuos cleaning. We switched to a no clean solder years ago and no longer have an aqueous system. Is aqueous cleaning necessary to eliminate 'cross talk' of the s

| Hi, | | For hand placement you should see about 150-200 ppm of errors (solder, placement, values etc) on a board populated of types such as 1206, 0805, SOT, Tantalum etc. . As for solely wrong components (component at wrong location) you can usual

| WHAT SHOULD THE RATIO BE OF STENCIL APERATURE TO PAD TO GET GOOD QUALITY RESULTS. BY THAT I MEAN, A MINIMM OF SOLDER BALLS, AND LITTLE TO NO BRIDGING, SHORTS, ETC.. | RIGHT NOW WE ARE USING A 1:1 RATIO, BUT ARE INVESTIGATING REDUCING THE APERATU

To predict whether or not a first pass part is going to come off during the second pass you need to calculate the ratio of weight/soldered surface area. According to a couple of different sources that I've dug up, maximum is around 44 grams/in.^2. I

Q1: Anyone has any ideas on how this post-SMT reflow solder joint could have changed to whitish joint? A1: Dunno. You need to tell us more. For instance: * What is the appearance of this white residue? [eg, glassy / coarse, milky colored / opaque,

Hi I will only hit only a few and then bug out. Worked with one large EMS place that has the "fail first" approach to engineering and manufacturing. ( I know I know THEY all do). They didn't store the paste as the mfg suggested, they didn't control

I, too, have finished qualifying the Amtech paste for a dispensing application. We will be experimenting with the component soldering/stencil printing next. The stuff has proven to provide the best of both the no-clean/low solids and water washable

RC, I agree. I have tried to educate management as to the real benifits of height measurement. Our President attended a CEO meeting of some sort and was told that solder paste height measurement will solve all of the worlds problems. She then inquir

One thing I have run into when placing cap's flush to the board is blow holes due to the plastic sheathing used around the cap. It would form a gasket going through wave and exhaust out of the holes therefore blowing the solder out with it. This cap
