One very important consideration in your situation is to determine if you have moisture sensitive components on these boards. If you have any device classified level 3 or higher then you have a very high level of risk associated with moisture sensit

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

You are mixing long exposed paste back into fresh? How long has your fresh jar been open to the air? You are probably doing yourself a disservice by scavenging the paste (it could have moisture entrapped). Your visocity has definitely changed. You a

Fresh paste from a factory sealed container. Should paste be scrapped out altogether if left on the stencil for too long (length-of-time?)? Our paste is Multicore CR39. Multicore reccomended the print chamber be around 22C @ 50%-60% RH. Our plant is

Interesting...the very reason we use water soluble paste on some of our boards is for that reason, although I've never been able to get anyone to show me something in print that supports it. It's just what engineering has told me. We currently have

Deja vu! When I read your response I turned around to see if you standing behind me listening to our problem. We currently make about 50 different boards all using no-clean that have no problems, yet this newest boards has a couple of issues that eng

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
