If people use an inert gas, they use nitrogen for mass soldering. Inert gases get progressively more expensive as you move down the periodic table. Many times no-clean flux is less active than other flux types. So, people use an inert gas to lower

All: I am reaching out to get some suggestions on the right flux to use as well as a recommended cleaning process for soldering a KOVAR RF shield using 80/20 Au/Sn solder to a ceramic hybrid. The recommended profile is 4-5 min at 280C and at least

Sorry, but I don't know this brand. Anyway pay attention, because if the chemistry is resin based, is difficult to clean and the residuals may be hygroscopic. So, I only can suggest you to read the data sheet and follow the instructions by the solder

We've started off with Kester 951 'no-clean' so far which is alcohol based I believe. It seems to do very well with foaming, activation and low residue, but if we can move to water based and get good results that would be great. The 951 flux and thin

Hi, this is not really a technical solution, just a feedback. we too have a model series using the same WS paste type. it gives a dull solder joint with white residue that can be marginally removed after post-DI water rinse (ie. not 100% removed).

Has anyone had much luck Picking and Placing die with a Panasonic MPA-G3?What special setups or considerations are required? Currently we pick and place one die with our Universal GSM using only one nozzle. The nozzle must be painted white in order

Novemer 13, 2001, minutes from the JG-PP Lead-Free Solder project: http://www.jgpp.com/projects/lead_free_soldering/minutes/01novminutes.pdf It seems to me, that although everything was discussed before hand, it wound up being the "Let's do it and

I don't have a plasma cleaner either. It will help a lot. Actually I don't clean at all. Our wirebond pads are far enough away so the flux residue does not get on the wirebond pads. That's what we think anyway. I am sure we have some degree of c

Unfortunately it's nc or we'd be worrying about this on the fly. Non-contact is defintely and issue....this is an 18"x9" board with 1500 bottom side SMT parts that are scattered among the through-hole and vice-versa. We're currently using 7 hold-

some things to consider, Is there flux on the board. are there finger prints on the tops of parts. Is the board warped at the V score from reflow Is the board shifting in the machine during inspection. These are the issues we have had with our mir
