Does anyone out there run the adhesive side first and then the solder side and wash? I was just wondering if this is a good practice or not. I am afraid that we will lose some of the parts, that are just glued on, in the washer? Basically I am try

Unless you've got an extremely agressive cleaner, the epoxy should hold the parts during the delay time. That's their job basically. We ran reflow first pass, glue parts, then wave solder second pass. There were potential delays between adhesive b

Michelle, Traditionally, the adhesive side is always run first since most designers put passives (resistors, caps) on the adhesive (solder side) of the board. I worked in an environment where we did the adhesive side first, sometimes the boards "sa

Pressure printing systems Conventional stencil printing techniques have fundamental limitations as regards paste handling: The volume of paste available for printing is limited, so frequent replenishment is necessary Paste is difficult to c

Your solder paste is talking to you, follow its message. Listen to the paste. Be at one with the paste. If you insist on ignoring the message of the paste, add more paste, if you just need to complete the last board or so, but you really should ju

You are correct. So, the unit amount of gold [based on IG plating thickness, size of the pad, etc.] dissolves in the solder very quickly. When the solder is liquid for: * A long time, the gold disperses more. * A short time, the gold concentrates a

Can anyone recommend a solder stop that can be applied by our PCB supplier. Our current material form Tamura Kaken is causing problems. The material should be capable of withstanding 1 Surface mount IR reflow cycle and 1 wave solder cycle. We need t
