The pallets are made of a black composite that is 5MM thick, and yes, the bottom is beveled to the cut out space for the connectors. The wave solder machine is a Treiber, so the wave height is hand set. I always aim for the center of the leading edg

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

Thanks Dave I'm not convinced the air is necessarily in the paste from manufacture - suspicious that it may be folding in during the change in direction of the print cycle - or as the paste travels across apertures. It is not necessarily in the fir

Hi Roderick, Guess it depends on how you define "minor". If it is just a visual blemish in the mask, there will be no affect o the BGA. If it is through the resist there may be a chance of solder shorting, which will affect it, I doubt it but poss

Hi all, just wondering what everyone is using for production microscopes. Our operators are not in love with the standard eyepiece microscopes. We have an old Vision Engineer stereo dynascope that everyone loves but cant find anymore. The new Mantis

We have issues with these also. They need to be flat to solder well. Reduce the square under the part for the heat sink and youll improve yields. That pad keeps the part lifted high while the other smaller joints reflow and partially attach. You can

We believe that some suppliers replace nickel with cobalt in SN100 to product a shinier, less grainy, more attractive lead-free solder connection. SN100E sales-types like the idea that it is available in paste, bar stock, and other forms; as compare

yeah I’ve tried to go down the road of internal recycling but the company carnt justify spending 20k on a machine that does it. Ah but where still onto it in other places though our SMT department has very minimal wastage on solder paste as we have b

When bridging becomes an issue, I like short leads. Lead Free is where I see most bridging occur. Usually when lead length starts to approach lead spacing. As long as the lead is discernible in the joint, it's acceptable. If you are having troubl

It is pretty high, I will have to try it with no exhaust, thanks for the idea. Have a great weekend. I should also mention someone that knows metal alloys told me that that much extra Nickle can cause the melt point to go up. Does anyone run hotter t
