I think we should shift this issue to the machine suppliers, requesting changes in the machine design, in order to keep at least the jobs of high mix, low volume in this country. We can only compete with low labor cost countries by increasing the lev

We have a need for expert opinions on a solderability issue. Our company prints and then reflows solder paste with no components in place. It is then washed and flattened with a special flattening machine. Usually, the paste fuses and spreads out

Hi Grant, The purpose for allowing the solder paste to reach room temp before production is to reduce the amount of water absobtion from the air. (e.g. a cold glass of water "sweats" on a humid day)The purpose for mixing is to make the viscosity more

I wonder what that would look like? BUILD DCOUMENTATION Paste: OA XYZ-123 SOLDER PASTE. Note: Place refridgerated paste tube in Goldstar Microwave (3rd from the end of the break-room). Press "defrost" "forzen dinner". Do not defrost solder paste

Grant, The only thing that you really gain from refrigeration is a couple more months� shelf life. Refrigeration also seems to slow down flux separation. I am not sure how your paste consumption is, but we use ours up way before the expiration date

Sr. Tech, when you say you have never had a problem, what exactly does that mean? How do you know you have never had a problem directly associated with your solder process? Do you actively measure your defect levels? How do you maintain traceabili

We have run not AgPd [that we know of]. We can comment on PdNi. [But you're probably have Ni under the AgPd] In general, palladium solution rate is much slower than other sacrificial finish materials that we use for the purpose. The key then is to

celldude, I have a couple more questions for you. Where can one look into getting these machines necessary for SSD? Also, knowing that the machines are expensive..Does your company find they are saving money (in the long run) by using SSD? More spec
