Intermetallic compounds [IMC]: * Form during the alloying process of some metals. In soldering these are Sn, Ni, Ag, Cu, Au. * Do not accept solder. * Increase in depth in logarithmic proportion to both time and temperature. [So during the solder

This depends on the model. Most machines and turret style typically overstroke .2mm with a force of 250 - 300 grams of force. the reason for the over stroke is to place the component into the paste. This can be adjusted through part library manipul

We produce High mix very low volume Military assemblies. So a typical order mya be for 50 pcb's, at a 5 up array. Do you work in the fab shop? Scott

Typically, the reliability of PCBs suffers significantly due to the increase in aspect ratio. It is not preferred to opt for high thickness boards. However, I would like to point out that your assumption seems to be wrong as board layers do not direc

Cal, Our parent company is a FAB and they are about to release a new generation of parts. Usually the die is qualified in a simple TSOP form factor. This time the first product quals will take place in the BGA and CSP from factors rather than the t

Any decent flux would volatise off with the heat of the wave unless absorbed into the solder mask. Test this by trying to clean in alcohol or common solvent aerosol, if it does not clean then it is probably Mineral Salts from solder mask fillers. Ano

Typically - hand soldering as you are currently doing. Should your volume justify it you can invest in a selective soldering solution, these might take the form of a robotic arm that essentially replicates manual soldering or a solder jet similar to

Hi Scott, I have worked for a State side PCB Manufacture and now a Taiwan Manufacture. At both shops the up charge was based on how many up the pallet array was plus layer count and complexity of product, charges ranged from free to 15%. Standa
