We ran into this problem before, on all of our models. We never quite found out the reason, we do know that if the PCB is passed through a reflow oven that is extremely dirty with evaporated solder paste flux, it will make it extremely difficult (or

I like AIM solder paste, personally. But, much like asking which pick and place machine is best on this board, you're likely to get as many opinions as there are paste manufacturers. I just took a look at Alpha's datasheet for this product, and it

HI I used both of solder leveling HASL and ENIG, HASL I can recommended for biger pitch is cheaper solder leveling than ENIG but problem with that solder leveling is during the reflow process HASL isn't flat and during reflow process component move

Can anyone tell why soldering of paste in reflow machine called as reflow process. Is there any reason or just nomenclature is made.

I was wondering if anyone has information on the market size for solder preforms, paste, wire, etc. If not, do you have any suggestions on where I might find this information?

Can you get me a recommendation regarding a Micro BGA soldering. It is apparent there is a problem and I want to insure success by following recommended practices. Is there a particular solder mask configuration recommended, as far as stencil thick

We are currently investigating getting a small SMT line in-house...very low quantities. I have been looking at Screen Printers and have also stumbled across Solid Solder Deposit Technology at 2 companies. I'm not sure whether we want to have the So

Comparing 62Sn/36Pb/2Ag with 63Sn/37Pb, addition of 2% Ag introduces two major advantages. The first advantage is grain refining, and the resultant better fatigue resistance. The second advantage is a wider processing window on Ag metallization. Pres

As stated previous, the following elements all have a effect on solder beading. Solder Paste, stencil apertures(reduction of home plate), stencil thickness, printing parameters, placement height, reflow preheat and soaking slope and dwell, manufactur

We recently reduced our standard aperture reduction to aid in the reduction of solder on gold defects. Since this reduction in aperture size, we have been experiencing exposed copper at the end of the component pads. The heel and toe joints are per
