Hi Russ, Thanks for the reply. No this is 856, I sprayed some on boards just to try it out and noticed it dries very quickly also but if its soldered right away as would be the case in the machine, it's fine. I believe I tried some 857 and found th

I agree with Jerry. A 7 mil stencil should work just fine for 25 mil pitch parts and 0.050 pitch BGA's. I too go 6 mil, but whith proper screen printing, you can 7 mil. You can always do 5 ot 10% reductions if needed. Use the homeplate design on

We wouldn't know a Gemini from a bread box, nor we are real clear on what you seek. So, we'll just rattle on for a while. Here's how we monitor the quality of our dispensing process: * We dispense the same nonfunctional pattern of dots on every boa

Check placement pressure. I agree with the "smushing" theory. If you can place the component with less pressure, I'd do that first. A switch to Type three paste is also a good idea, as long as your minimum aperture dimension remains at 0.009" as you

Hi, I off center idea we used when we started. Get a pasta cooker, and put in vapor phase fluid, and then use that. Place the product in the bottom of the inner pot, and then heat on a small hot plate. When the vapor cloud gets high enough and the

I agree with Russ. The problem is your thermal isolation is so small 1/16 inch. Also, most ovens measure temperaure in the plenum. You don't solder in the plenum. Therefore, you have a intermidiate "zone" temp. mixing between the top and bottom

Good morning all. I'm trying to find some help on my voiding issue on my lead free BGAs. I am using a Heller 8/2 zone oven, and using Qualitek solder paste. I had listened to a tech representing another solder company, who told me to make the joints

We did a tin bath on ours but it was provided for free by Nihon Superior so that is a no-brainer. It was better than taking a risk of having to dump the pot. If you cant get a free tin bath, then you should probably go ahead and fill it half way or s

Wave flux, although I've seen it used successfully in my past life, is not such a good idea to use as a rework/touchup flux. Wave flux needs to be heated to certain activation temps which won't be repeatedly achieved with a manual soldering process.
