Hi Buddy, We've tried shifting to this process before and from our point of view here are some of the advantage and disadvantages that we discovered. Advantage 1) Cheap Equipment cost as you just need to use your Solder Paste Printer rather than buy

Andy: Welcome. Several points: 1 Be careful in your statistics quoting reverie, particularly on archives use. September was about the time of one of the server upgrades. As part of one of those changes, the previously outstanding, although sadl

Donnie is correct. "NO-Clean" doesn't translate to "no-residue!"..... who's giving you hassle about this - your ICT guys??!! Residue remaining on your PCB substrate is a function of many different things - flux deposition, solder mask (glossy means

Robert: Howya doin' bud? You say "BGA Shorting!!!" I say "Too Much Solder!!!" So, earlier comments about aperture design are appropriate, make good points, and I think we both agree that improvements could be made in your stencil design, but I'm

Marc: My experience found reliability IS a function of operator skill and attension to the process. Expecially for some RF assemblies. I worked with an engineer from Rogers to develope a process for reworking Pads for a special material. (I thing

Dason, IPC/EIA J-STD-001C states: "....temperature within the range of 230C (446F) to 290C (554C)." That's a pretty wide process range. 250C has been typical in the past. We run ours from 230C to 240C. We have found that some single-sided PCBs can de

Every critter out there with large incisors adapted for gnawing and nibbling has a different theory of solder ball formation. [My theory: It�s punishment for using NC fluxes. Stand and deliver. My solder balls end-up in the gross filter connected

OK, without knowing the specifics, why does everyone blame the oven? Most solder balls occur around R's and C's in almost every shop I've been to. The best place to start looking is the screen printer - not the oven. Sure the oven is the last proc
