We'd expect both OSP poor wetting and improper reflow recipe to show-up in more places than just this one component. But if those are the only choices, we'll go for 'wrong solder paste.' Ooops, that's not one of the choices. Ok, OK, we'll take poo

To all, This may appear to be laziness on my part, but I need to ask for some advice. We are in the process of qualifying no-clean solder paste to replace or current RMA paste. I have performed qualification runs and extensive reliability testing

| Is the no clean solder paste as good? We are wondering if we can elliminate the wash when we change from through hole to surface mount. | John, No clean is as good as your process, and the paste you are using. Everything I do is no clean and I h

You are right !!! The exact volume of solder paste onto flip chips is extremely critical. Only one vendor that I know has taken that part of the process to the next level, whereby they can effectively deposit the right amount onto the flip chip exa

First, I agree with Wolfgang, in response to Wister. Second, Wolfgang: Sometimes, our blanket purchase order for paste schedules delivery of the paste in advance of production requirements. (What!!!???? In-bound material schedules don't match out-

If you believe: * There is air in your paste AND * You are not whipping the air into the paste ... You should: * Return the paste to your supplier * Get it replaced * Begin qualifying a replacement supplier. One thing before you go racing off to ly

If you are just prototyping, I would probably go with the Jet printer(I think the paste cartridges are very expensive). If you have some casual runs I would use a stencil printer. Actually I would like to have them both - tweak the paste amount with

Not a sales pitch, just an update, the Essemtec jet print solution is maturing fast based on a lot of customer testing. It is fully capable to replace printers for prototyping and NPI. Being adaptive to different paste suppliers and different compone

We used the 92J a couple of years ago for a while. It performed very well for us. However when we started batch cleaning our assemblies the 92J post solder residue was not very easy to remove so we switched to Kester 256 which cleaned better. JD

Jimmy So, it sounds like your stencil and board are made to dissimilar versions. Choices are: * Buy new stencil to match the pads on the board * Tweek position of stencil to better match-up with the pads on board, ignoring the fiducials. You may be a
