The only thing ammonia can do is tarnish copper and make it more difficult to solder. And the higher temp in lead-free will discolor the latex (giving it a sticky surface), but the functionality of the mask will be intact. There should be greater co

What problems are the quality people seeing? I hope they aren't expecting a toe fillet. QFNs are typically cut from an array after plating. This leaves exposed copper on the sides of the part. We'll often see smearing from the sawing process that

Our production is putting QFN40 and QFN56 package on board. With 80% opening on terminal, 40% on thermal pad, we found QFN56 100% forming toe fillet, but it does not work out the same to QFN40. We suspect it's because of the weight of component.....

we do keep out solder paste ready for next shift or for replenish. We specified a location to keep new paste ( only one container ) near stencil machine. As soon as that is use we put another container from freeze, we make sure that at specified loca

on sections ive looked at with 7 microns of silver and 4microns of copper, the silver had been totally absorbed into the solder in most places and a large amount in some places all the copper as well, so i think the answer is that to provide long ter

My soak at 150C - 180C for approx. 85sec to 100sec. I believe this is sufficient. I can't change my paste because customer wants to use SnPb paste with SAC solder balls. They claimed that they have sucessful result with other CM. I need to know if

I thought the same thing but he did mention density. I threw out the color thing immediately - which is normal. But to NOTICE a density proble with set programs seem aby-normal. Unless one our maintenance guys got a hold of your machine for a PM.

everything else EXACTLY the same? meaning exact same product number from the same manufacturer same fluxes used in the paste? no additional no clean "touchup" or hand soldering operations? No expert by any means but it would seem odd to me that the

Here we go with another "solderability problem". How do you know the pads on the bare PCB are oxidized? Just based on its colour? If that is the root cause, then why ohter parts on the same board are fine? If you want to solve the problem, get it's

For 15 years I have used a similar method, only I used two bread pans. You can fit alot more solder in them. In one pan I drilled holes very similar to the photo in one pan and used a reclaiming agent such as Kleenox to prep it a bit. Then used the o
