Hello all, we use a reflow oven from Rehm in our SMT production. At the moment we solder under nitrogen atmosphere (approx. 500ppm). Now we want to reduce the nitrogen consumption (costs etc.). What consequences can occur here? Especially on the s

We have a client we would like to have switch from leaded can components to surface mount versions. We currently are utilizing these on a number of designs but his concern is in the area of reliability of the solder interface. The caps generally ha

hello, BGA was a little excessively reflowed with dwell time(above 183C - solder paste = 63/37) over 2 min, peak temp is 218C. I inspected the BGA under X-ray and there is a little voids but within the acceptable range, i then used the Ersascope to c

| Cpk's on top flight ovens (e.g., Conceptronics, Heller, Electrovert, Vitronics) vary wildly, from 1 to 2+, between different supplers. The suppliers don't seem to understand Cpk's. A supplier's rep whose oven has a Cpk of 1.0 told me: | 1. Cpk's

A couple more things. The PCB. What size are the pads? One time a board shop had difficulty putting masking between the pads of a QFP and the pads suffered as a result. When I told them they didn't have to have masking between the pads, the pads w

Hi Folks, As I travel our industry it seems to me the trend is to move from finner and finner pitch QFP's to array packages (BGA's, CSP's, etc.). Do you folks see the same trend? What is the finest pitch QFP package you have used in your process? Are
