Does anyone one have any suggestions on what containers to use to put the solder (lead) into? We used aluminum bread pans last time since we wanted to reuse the solder and that was not such a hot idea. It took forever to tear the pans apart to get th

Does anyone have any experience running Aluminum Electrolytic Caps with a SAC305 alloy. The profile for the solder calls out a peak temp of 235-255C and 60-75 seconds above 217C. Most can cap manufacturers are calling out for 230-245c max for no lo

Wire bonding is a die connect methodology that runs either gold or aluminum wires between pads on the integrated circuit to either a lead frame or pads on a printed circuit board. For more look here on Daan Terstegge's excellent link page http://www

We're looking into ways to better protect components adjacent to reworked ones with our Air-Vac. I've seen a few recommendations involving aluminum tape and other masking materials, but am looking for better recommendations. I noticed Alpha Metals

I am in agreement with Steve. I take great pains to ensure that my tape jobs do not come undone. As someone else noted I also preload the tip to the board so it stays in contact. I still need to ask why do we need to care about this tiny differenc

Assuming the AL tape shorts the wires for the thermocouple, you effectively have three junctions at the business end of the wire: wire 1 to AL, wire 2 to AL, and wire 1 to wire 2. If the temperature of the junctions wire 1 to AL and wire 2 to AL are

We need to clean the RMA flux residue on the PCBAs. The PCBA material is ALuminum base(Gold finish)stacked with Rogers Material PCB.Any solvent recommnedtaions? Is HCFC 141b a good solvent (quality & Price). we need to use vapor degreaser and also do

90% of the battle with thermal profiling is your thermocouple attachment. That is Process Engineering 101. It's just like painting your house. The masking and prep work will make or break the end result. KIC did a DoE on which thermocouple attach

At my last job, I ran a phips topaz with an internal tray feeder ,that we put in, and the only problem we had was getting the thing level after it was level we didn't experience any difficulty but the one we had was made from machined aluminum. I alr

We use preprinted labels and laser coding. For PCB we laser mark with CO2 (NdYAG for the aluminum heat spreaders). We either have an epoxy legend to burn out or we burn the solder mask to expose the copper ground plane underneath. Laser is a much
