Hello, I found the previous discussion of lead free profiles on 5 zone ovens very interesting. I had the same concerns, but have recently succeeded in creating profiles on a 5 Zone QUAD oven that have eliminated solder splatter or Solder on Gold w

Davef, You have a good question. If we had perfect design engineers out there that would use the proper component spacing and not put SMT parts between and around thru-hole parts - glue and wave would work perfectly. I have done this with great su

Cellular and PDA architectures employ this technology all the time. You have to be careful with your board supplier as well as with your plugging approach. Leave the via unplugged, I guarantee voids in the solder joint. That leaves us with, "how d

Hi, What are you doing for reflow. Sounds like a cheap MYDATA TP machine second hand might do the trick, but don't know if it could do 0201 though. You can get a fairly ok manual stencil printer that might do the trick. We had one that had a linear

I was going to say something about being carefull to not replace part trays with full trays and to make sure where the pickup location curently is. I think we had a tray of parts drop, then there were restrictions on who could load trays. When I work
