As Wolfgang says: Conveyor speed may be too high. Excuse me for not stripping-out my repetition from your list, but other machine adjustments to consider are: * Using more efficient [higher specific gravity] flux. [Got it!!!] * Adjusting wave shape

We don't use the connector that is giving you soldering problems. Regardless, no one here is taking bets that you'll get pay-back from increasing the length of the locking pin. If it makes you feel any better, we'd bet against a 4-40 flat head and

Bowing to jokesters with comments about cake, in-laws that drink all their beer, musician friends, and whatnot; I'll push forward. What do yall do to manage the life and contamination level in the sponges that hand soldering operators use to clean t

Your question may be answered in two parts. First, if you are using a water soluble (OA) paste, then water is an excellent �solvent�. Water, in one way or another, is used to clean all fluxes and pastes from PCB�s. In some cases, a chemical is add

Hi, We have a couple of pcb's with PTH Crystal. We are looking for a spacer to be placed between the metallic body of the crystal and the via pad/land as they tend to short if wave soldered without a spacer. The spacer we are looking for is somethin

I ran this test back in '92 or '93 when Alpha was first pushing to change from Brookfield to Malcolm readings. The correlation between Malcolm readings to solder paste height is good. I could always look at the viscosity reading and know at least a d

Hi Dave, that was kind of a more rhetorical question. Normally paste is used before shelflife expires and delivery time is short enough to get in no trouble. The normal situation is that you try to get your equipment running means constant use of pas

Hi John, I don't know if you are going to have a lot of luck obtaining this information. Currently 0201's are mostly used in Asia, and reliability issues have risen using these components. The problem is obtaining a reliable solder connection with a

Hi All, I have this problem sorting out the percentage of allowance that we need (per component) for our SMT machine attrition rate. When you say 1%. Say I have a PCB with 3 types of SMD components, type X is using 30 components, type Y is using 5

Halo; In your last message you did not mentioned why your customer need to use IPA to clean PCB's as their requirement and what subtances they want to get rid of (is it flux stain PCB's or component?).If so recommend your value customer of flux 910
