Hi all, I want to know the possible causes of poor paste release in stencil printing process if the same brand and part number of solder paste that has been used successfully is being used with a set of process parameters which worked before. Other t

I agree with URL. We made a mistake years ago paying a consultant for something that can be done your in-house technical staff. The consultant took a bunch of notes and suggested we all wear "finger cots". His solution didn't help us with our prob

You're right Dave, a GOOD company would include that in the deal. But our purchsing people get pats on backs for saving a buck or two here and there...so. It really hurts when they save 30 bucks on bulk parts versus tape and reel. Then we spend hu

JAX: Thanks for the reply. We did send one of the boards back to the bare board supplier and they do concede that it is black pad. When you inspect the assembled board under a microscope, you can easily move the entire solder joint away from the p

Guys, I have told the Rep. that their are customers in the UK getting free analysis samples carried out but he still insists that this is not the case. I have managed to get 50% for 2006 calender year ,I suppose I will just have to put up and shut

I am not too concerned about the cost of silver, SAC305 generated so much dross in our selective solder it was hard to keep the machine running for more than 20 or 30 minutes without fluxing the nozzles and cleaning the pot, and yes, we are using nit

This stuff is great! Remember to do the maintenance correctly and you'll have great results. I've been using for about 2 months and reduced my solder purchases nearly 70% with my 63/37. I will be using the lead free version in my SAC 305 machine as s

Has anybody tried this stuff? I was asked about it this morning and it sounds plausible from their website, minus "The small volume of spent material can then be inexpensively shipped back to P. Kay Metal for recycling" part. Website: http://www.p

Danny, I'm hoping to hear more about this, too. I've seen it mentioned in a couple of other posts, but so far Sara G. (Foresite Inc.) is the only regular SMTNet poster that's actually seen this stuff. Really curious about residues, and what kind of f

Took your advice Sara, and did contact PK. Got a data sheet that says "no residue on boards or components". But not done with concerns just yet - for example, if the MS2 becomes thicker and more viscous, what's that doing to my pumps? Unfortunately n
