Solderability standards are: * IPC EIA J-STD-002B - Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs, Terminals and Wires * IPC EIA J-STD-003A - Solderability Tests for Printed Boards Not intending to insult you, but terms used to descr

I have an issue where our production team has ran the wrong reflow profile on a no lead product where Indium NC SMQ-230 no lead paste has been used. You can still see the grains of solder after reflow. What I am look for is if anyone has any recomm

Hi, I take it you are refering to intrusive reflow? It came around as more components became available in surface mount packages leaving mainly connectors left over for a separate insertion operation & wave/selective/hand solder. Manufacturers imp

LIsten I'll have to diagree with you there.Now Im not the biggest expert at screen printing at my place of employment its a different department than wave which is my primary expertice but I see those UP20000 printers are always down with problems.

Hi. I agree that the Soltec has weak, low-wattage preheaters, and also, the Soltec's fluxer is flippin' weak too. It doesn't do a good jab of atomizing the flux and getting good, huh-huh, penetration on the holes. I cranked up my Soltec's pressu

yes, it could have been from all 3 locations. without any detail whatsoever about your process or anythign it is impossible to help!! please check your incoming material prior to processing please check your reflow profile to ensure that max temp

With recent implementation of VOC-Free flux in our shop, we've experienced little solder fines/balls on the above combo of VOC-Free, Water Based, and glossy to semi-glossy mask finish on PCB's. The solder balls show up on close conductor spacings, ~

As you are new to this - start with lots of hair and slowly reduce. Start with one good person. Spend the money on someone who knows the process, can set it all up, (including air, power, alignment, calibration, programming, troubleshooting, stenc

There are many users of SN100C in reflow. SN100C was originally introduced as a wave solder alloy which offered cost savings over SAC, no solder pot erosion, and high fluidity. Since it is eutectic, no plastic range, the joints have a smooth, shiny

I would cut a piece of cardboard to the same dimensions as your circuit card. Run that through the fluxer of your machine and pull it out before the pre-heater. Take a look at the cardboard and verify that flux has been sprayed on it. That board look
