We remove the fiducials by pushing sideways on them with a hot soldering iron. The copper pad separates from the FR4. We collect them and dispose of them. We have thought of disposing of the rail material with the boards, but our recycler doesn't w

I have a customer with up to 8% scrap from one board supplier and 1% from another supplier for solder dewett and no wet over ENIG finish with mask defined pads. Initially I suspected mask residue on pads because of the no wets but I have come to find

Good morning Dave F. I am not going to try to touchup the solder pad until I get surface analysis work done, don't want to ruin the evidence. I am getting XPS work done not XRF, XPS is X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and can see very thin films of o

Used this paste on ENIG boards W/O N2 and had very good results. (0402's,BGA's,16mil FP) Never had the need to use N2 with this paste on our products. Running with N2 shouldn't hurt anything. The wetting properties should get even better than they ar

This sounds like it could be a SIPAD solid solder application. Bring the boards in with the solderpaste already on them in a flattened solid form. Then you could print glue on them without disturbing wet paste. 1.Print glue. (Might take a little

Just started doing BGA rework. After the removal of the "old" component and after site cleaning/component reballing I am ready to install the component on the PCB. It is recommended to apply flux or paste to the board/component. I would appreciate m

The Electra and Electra 500 are basically the same. 20 or 24" As far as the other items Spray fluxer type can be picky on flux type(solids content etc)and also there are choices for selective spraying Check out finger conveyor config - may suit palle

For relow ovens the general approaches are: * Clean the vent pipe. * Replace [a section of ] the vent pipe. * Clean the flux trap on newer ovens. * Do nothing and wonder where that brown slime that is dripping on the boards is coming from. For wave

Very short list of strategies: * Accept only products are designed to be manufactured and tested. * Assure components are of the proper form and are solderable. * Make sure your processes are capable and in control. * Provide lots of training for you

Hey there, we use... Hmmms... we use a 6 hour paste I think from sci-tech or something that sounds like that, ws160a. as a rule what I paste up first thing, I want in the oven just after lunch, so about 4-5 hours. anything over that and your playin
