I have done this several times in order to save my butt: adding liquid flux in a jar of not so fresh paste, stirring it slow for 2-3 minutes, to make it usable. Of course, use no-clean flux for no clean paste, etc. During one production slow-down,

Hi there, We place FBGA packages on a lot of our memory modules. Our stencils have .013" square apertures and a .005" foil thickness. We are using a type 4 paste from Senju Comtek. The price difference is not that significant and readily available

Key to Rosin Fluxes [from SUPERIOR FLUX & MFG. CO.] Type R (Rosin): Non-activated rosin flux for soldering copper. Residues are non-corrosive and non-conductive. Type RMA (Rosin Mildly Activated): Mildly activated rosin flux that contains no chlori

We have RF boards with ... * No solder mask * Strategically placed globs of solder It's possible that your boards will not work with NC flux res on them. We generally don't see noise problems. We loose one of the edges [front I think, but don't

Hi We currently use a small amount of Alloy : 43Sn 43Pb 14Bi Flux: RMA-51AC, Metal : 88.5%. We use it for reworking a product and only consume about 100g per year, we are in the middle or ordering in some more paste but the MOQ is 500g. Is it possibl

To most of our boards I give 20-30% tolerance in both directions. From experience if you have big aperture on your stencil, the squeegee will scoop certain amount of paste from this aperture and you will see lower height. Depending on your board supp

To how many decimal places? Do you want to have a factor for different screen printer operators? There is no such formula and I doubt there ever will be one with any real accuracy. The stencil house might be able to tell you the total area of the

m_imtiaz, Over the last 15 years or so I've found that using the stencil foil thickness +2mils/-0mils has worked very well. For example, if you have a 5mil stencil thickness your upper control limit would be 7mils and your lower control limit would

I have the situation where we may need to use a variety of reflow temperatures. It seems that the design engineers want us to try a variety of "unspecified" pastes on the products. For example, the first PCB would be assembled using a higher temperat
