Checks calendar ...nope not April 1st. -The fresher the paste the better the solder joint. Agreed - My dilema here is upper management wants the two lines to share one stencil printer thus saving the cost of purchasing a second printer. They propos

Could this be an opportunity to explore the use of cartridge-type paste dispensers? Or maybe a reason to keep working over the weekend. * Re-Storing & Re-Using “Used” Solder Paste. Though not a recommended practice, used solder paste from the stenci

The Technical Services Group at Alpha Metals has spent a fair amount of time looking at wave soldered Pb-free connections. We too have observed fillet tearing, fillet lifting, and pad lifting. I have concluded that without major changes in the mate

| Hello Ya'll, | I've got what may be a silly question, but why does it seem so important to everybody that you have x-ray capability if you're thinking about doing BGA? | I know what most people will tell me; "Steve, that's a pretty silly qu

Cheers to you Your gold plating is specified for the gold wire bonding between the die of your BGA and the pads on the BGA substrate. For solderable surfaces this is heavy on gold for use on pads. Gold SB thinner on pads to limit the amount of gol

Mark: If you're looking for a baseline document for judging the acceptability of: * Mechanical assembly * Component installation * Soldering * Cleanliness * Marking * Coating * Laminate condition * Discrete wiring * Surface mounting of components .

Let me put my two cents into this argument..After being part of many extensive studies conducted to determine the benefits of solder paste inspection, there has never been a case where the customer concluded that paste inspection (Height or Volume)wa

Casimir: Let me expand on something that I said in my response to your thread on ionic testing. Generally, no-clean people don�t use ROSE testing as part of their process control, because the ROSE test is essentially washing your board in DI/IPA �

| We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a reco
