By Hot Air Knife I assume (leave it alone Dave F.) that you mean a debridging knife located at the exit end of a wave solder machine. Russ is right, they are not a good substitute for a good process, but once the process (w/o HAK) is developed, it

conveyor speed x dwell time = contact length and =====> inches / seconds x seconds = inches. First run your pump at a constant speed.....THEN,.... try running your glass plate at a very fast speed, and then you'll notice that your lengt

SCOTT- We do solderability testing for the electronics industry using a Multicore and Kester Wetting Balance testers. The standards we test to is IPC J-STD 002 for components and J-STD 003 for PCBs. There is also a system called SERA we co-developed

Liken soldering fumes to cigarette smoke. These fumes consist of two elements. 1 Smoke particles [very sticky] 2 Gases and vapors Particulate Filters: Smoke particles can be removed with a particulate filter. All particulate filters are graded u

The root cause is dependant on the type of solder "splash", ball, whatever, that you are seeing post reflow. If it is smears, then cleaning the stencil underside is probably the answer. Are you using automatic wipers? How many print cycles between w

Hey!!! Watch it!!! I don�t want to get you believing too much of this stuff. But if you bought that, listen to this � some circuits are so critical with that skin effect stuff that they use silver as the top level solderability preservative. Turn

Hi, I need support on the method or applicable standard to measure the shear force strength on chip capacitors and resistors. I know the soldered joints strength is related to land desing, solder volume, pcb and component solderability, component

We had the same problem years ago when we started using a radial inserter. The inserter would dutyfully insert and clinch the leads. The problem in our case was the component body sealing to the fab, especially on electrolytics caps with a film jac

Been there, done that, don't wanna do it again..... Was lucky enuf one time to recieve a customer PCB ( we were a contract house, nuff said...) where the PCB designer had decided to put vias in the pads of a QFP80. Probably don't hafta tell you that

Cal is correct. Sipad, Precision Pad, Optipad, SSD, and all that were a feeble Euroland approach to creating flat pads for fine pitch assembly. To begin with, they required a complete board redesign using their proprietary software. [Oooo, me firs
