Flash gold usually refers to electrolytic gold with a short plating time. In other words gold plating that requires current to plate. If you have bare copper under your soldermask, the gold is probably ENIG. The only other way to have bare copper

OK... My problem with BTUs is that they are getting stopped up because the flux is not going from vapor form to liquid form; instead it is crystalizing (looks like a blizzard took place in the flux box and chiller boxes) and clogging up the flux box,

I am in the process of characterising a new vapour phase reflow system and am interested to learn if anyone out there has ever come across time/temperature datalogging equipment capable of being run through the entire process (including vacuum) along

AJ, No overprint. We have components in very close proximity that precluded that. Also we have differing areas of thermal relief for the pads from a large backplane, from none at all to open blocks to individual pad relief. After a few more experimen

Hi Darby, No, I'm not cutting on the robot guys. I actually went thru their site and found it interesting. They truely use their knowledge and creativity, which is a rare thing to find these days. That, coupled with their common sense and resourc
