Have never heard of solderballs during rework using solder wire. Noticed the tendency to have little balls of flux with too hot iron and lots of solder used for shields or massive cables to be connected. Seems to me a question of believe if it does

Does anyone have any guidelines or IPC standard they can suggest for specifying the type of solder mask used? We've started having problems with poor masking, and when I asked our designers what they use as a specification, they can't give an answer

I am hoping to find out what database format is used in the component library in the Universal Software for the 4785 chipshooter. The format is something like dbase or foxpro or access. This is an old program and I would like to connect to the comp

If you are doing this in a high volume, you could concider using a pin transfer method. Apply solder paste first. Have a plate made with retractable pins in the location you want to have the adhesive dots. Dip the pins into a lake of adhesive. Align

Hello, I am trying to convince our design engineer to use micro-vias when he has to locate them in the middle of a pad. I heard of the use of micro-vias on this site and was wondering if someone could lead me in the direction of somewhere

Most of us, here on SMTnet, are either assemblers or sale types. Assemblers use stencils [metal foil, secured in a frame] instead of silk screens. Fabricators use silk screens in various photoimaging processes for applying etch resists, solder mask

Believe it or not, we use kid's markers like Crayola. Some colors come off more readily than others so you may have to experiment. We use it on aluminum so it may not be just right for you but it's an inexpensive test. Kind of made us happy when m

Listen. Reworking 0201 is too expensive. Here�s watt yado � * Cut the lil� suka between the pads on the board using side cutters. * Flick each piece from its pad, after melting the solder with a standard soldering iron. * Solder the terminations

It will be a 'risk' to rely the volume using cyberoptic as it does not tell you the true volume. With no disrespect to them, they are only using 'mathematical' calculation (LxBxH)to get the volume. As we know that the paste will never be a flat surfa
