Brian, a couple of things really stick out here... 1) You are spraying what is referred to here at the CATT as "PINK DEATH" The 3355-11 is about the most active/aggressive flux you can get your hands on. I am concerned about both the condition

Hi all, Long story ahead.... We are having issues with board vendors on some of our higher layer count (thick) boards. Specifically under BGAs with high aspect ratio vias (14:1). We are using ENIG finish and a lead free process. Basically we get t

CK: If you�ve done everything under the sun process-wise at the wave: different fluxes, more heat, less heat, more contact time, and less contact time; and are running out of ideas; let me table some thoughts. � "Don�t mess with Mother Nature."

Dave, to answer your questions, point-by-point: � Just out of curiosity, how are second side, skippy components oriented on the board with respect to the wave? The SMD's are all oriented in the "correct" direction with respect to wave direction(i

I have a product where an IC is soldered using a stencil which puts down way too much paste. The result is massive bridging. Anyway, one of my coworkers claimed he could eliminate the bridging by baking the circuit board in an oven for 5 min at 90

Jacqueline, Asuming you mean immersion silver: Advantages - Very flat finish compared to HASL, more easily solderable than bare copper with OSP and more process tolerant than this in our experience, reasonable shelf life, cheaper than immersion gol

Intermetalic Layer (IL). A compound formed at the interface of two different metals, whose atoms have an extremely high natural attraction for each other, so high, that they do not bond to other elements by any other means. Also, intermetalic compo

Hi Murad, like with many other questions it�s hard to judge without seeing the effect. Assuming that this site you�re talking about is well equiped with knowledge and that they handle their processes normally to everybody�s satisfaction it�s obvious

Dave, Firstly..how the heck are you?..been a while.... Ok so I'm running an Electrovert Electra witha hot gas knife, & I've got large server boards going over the wave. I've seen us loose chip, mainly Tants on the hot gas knife...ain't good especia
