Filling via holes during the reflow process

Electronics Forum | Mon Mar 04 17:52:59 EST 2002 | davef

Yes, providing the surface of the via is solderable. * If so, how much paste? => Vias come in various sizes. Boards vary in thickness. So, the amount of paste to fill a via varies. Roughly, you�ll need twice as much paste as the volume of the via

Tilted/Slant SMT Component Specs?

Electronics Forum | Wed Mar 27 19:26:53 EST 2002 | ianchan

After a whole night's self review, I think we can term the slant/tilt as "floating 0805, yet end-terminals have acceptable solder joint formation". the width portion of the 0805 RES/CAP is (floating)elevated from the PCB pad, yet both (width) termin

BGA underfill necessary with conformal coat?

Electronics Forum | Wed Mar 27 21:20:30 EST 2002 | davef

There is two major BGA coating camps. * Camp #1: "We require the coating to be under low stand-off devices but with no filleting. So we apply a thinned dip coat first, and then top-off with a proper spray coat" * Camp #2: "We want no coating under th

Polarity for SMT Devices

That is the rub here, isn�t it? For those posting, it�s easier [but much slower] to start a new thread than to search the archives. [And posters could view their issue so unique and novel that it could never have been discussed several years earlie

Never try to convince an exec. staff to change manning policies using efficiency, it's a losing cause. Look at your audience, they probably all have MBA's which means they only look at the dollars and cents. To them those aren't production machines o

Conformal Coat Masking

Consider: * Quitting the coating business all together and using a coating service supplier, like: Thermospray Co 800-952-5838 Mike Moninger; Advanced Coating 800-722-1444; Epsco 108 W. 37th St Boise Idaho 83714 (208)389-2000 * Buying a programmable

Soldering PTH Card stiffeners

Electronics Forum | Tue Aug 13 12:22:03 EDT 2002 | dragonslayr

A bit of gray area for you. consider the application over the specmanship. Why are the stiffeners there in the first place? Is the rigidity requirement a high function i.e. very necessary due to potential shock and vibration , etc.? The soldering is

Electra Wave Solder Machine

The Electra is Electrovert's top-of-the-line wave solder machine. Just about the best you could get. Conveyor concerns should focus on the condition of the extruded rails. A machine that new should not have a problem, buy worth a look see. Find out i
