Now that�s a switch. Most are moving or properly have moved in the polar opposite direction. Dano, has someone been drilling your teeth lately? We use water washable flux to: * Remove solder balls. [Or put another way, we don�t have to screw-down

Splitting hairs, I expect SIR of all solderability protection, including OSP, to decrease after reflow. What�s more, I expect the SIR of all solderability protection to pretty much decrease over time. The �comb pattern� test specimens meet requirem

First, an earlier poster suggested using DI water. We are NOT excited about DI water with a NC fluxer, unless DI water is the proper flux thinner. Second, as you inplied, the maintenance steps you take should vary according to the amount of time th

Laser cut 0.13mm stencil thicknes works great for us. BTW, are we talking RoHS solder paste? We do reduce the stencil apertures to 88 % of the pads when we go for the RoHS solder paste. Otherwise we go fo 96% reduction in general with some excemption
