I have a question regarding is there any trick/tip able to quickly identify if a component is not clean/washable? Or a list of mfg p/n which already know are not clean/wash? We have an assembly would need to change the process from No-Clean to Clean

ROSE testing a post-reflow assembly which has been reflowed using no-clean flux may not yield information that is helpful. No-clean flux technology works by encapsulating the flux's activators and other chemical constitutes that would be harmful if l

Hello. Could I ask you for help. We have DEK Europa. We have changed ProFlow to squeegee head with feedback. After this during solder paste printing system shows the difference between set pressure (9 kg) and real pressure (7,5kg). I have read manual

We currently use Kester's ep256 as well and it seems to be a bit more grainy than one would expect from lead, especially if the temperature is too low. That paste says it's specialty is being robust over a wide range of profiles and stencil conditio

Haven't run those boards again, so haven't had the issue.. Since it seems like we may want to start using more aggressive flux based paste soon, what are some good choices? Ideally I'd like to stay with Kester, since they are readily available. EP2

It is strange that you're having issues while using the same process parameters (including stencil) that worked successfully before. It doesn't guarantee that it's not one of those parameters changing in a manner that's not apparent, but it does sugg

Hello everyone! I have had this idea in my head to DIY a desktop KVM (without the V so I guess just a KM) board that I can solder USB A headers to with a DPDT switch. I designed the board and when I thought it was all good to go I proudly sent it of

As far as the large thermal gradient I have on my thick and thermal heavy board, I've done quite a bit to minimize the gradient but not successful. it's like one pad is connected to a signal while the other pad is connected to ground, you can't bring

Hello Phil, As the other respondents have mentioned, the cooling rate is not easily controlled and varies based on the oven and board design, as well as the settings of the last few zones and cooling zones. In general, the board is going to cool in

To predict whether or not a first pass part is going to come off during the second pass you need to calculate the ratio of weight/soldered surface area. According to a couple of different sources that I've dug up, maximum is around 44 grams/in.^2. I
