Hi I thought I would come back to this one for a second. Joe Fox above gave a nice concise note as to why you must raise the temp high enough above the soldering melting temp (liquidus) yet not too high. You want to go high enough for paste so tha

Hello, We recently installed a new/used UPK 650 fitted with a foam fluxer using an RMA flux chemistry. We have had problems with icicling and bridging from the beginning. The bridging occurs mostly on DIPs and connectors. The icicling is on longer

Hi O'Conner, I hope you also tell us what Universal-GeorgeW discusses with you. It is a little strange seeing his name on this list and his phone number. Gee I can give you his email address but won't.. Again distance engineering is tough. I woul

We have an ongoing problem with our QFP144 packages soldering. It has not received much attention until late due to some customer failures. Most of the failures would show up in ESS testing and be repaired. The failure rate is about 2 in 1000 parts f

About 2 years ago our company tried to go with a post reflow AOI inspection. This AOI was suppose to be able to inspect to a level class 3 product. **It is impossible** You cannot inspect for a heel fillet and inspecting for poor wetting is a very

Please help us understand your situation better. * How do �Having Problems W/ Parts Moving At Reflow� and �When the boards come out of the oven the pads look very wet from flux� relate to one another? * Tell us about solder, flux, reflow profile, and
