No one knows what type of board you use. So, assuming you're talking a fairly standard FR4. Q1a. actually, what is max temperature and duration can a bare PCB reflow without any quality problem? A1a. We'd guess your board could take 250*C for may

Hi all, There seems to be a problem with the major component vendors/manufacturer everywhere; to supply lead free dummy/daisy chain components, in particular BGA-devices, within a reasonable time (not a big fan of 8-12 weeks). If they got them at all

First, Your flux is no good replace it. second, Check for pre- oxides. The smaller the component or the leads makes it difficult to solder specially if it has oxide. Thrid, check the board to wave parallelism. Maybe your wave is not parallel to the b

If we are talking about Indium...then you will eventually be paying what everyone else is. The resource is diminishing especially with the application into the display markets. Same with silver. We are comming out of an all time low for silver....
