Good morning Jamie. I work at a CM and can offer some input on process flexability. I do not have any data on how reliable the coating is but I can say that they are both very difficult to control. Will you be selective coating or full coating? Ho

Hi George, bad luck! That�s why we professionals get so much money for it. Those "thingies" are mainly capacitors or resistors. If a capacitor is missing you might with luck not even notice it. A resistor, that�s different, you will notice it, what

Hi Dave It sounds like you do pretty much what we do. A couple of points: If your machine allows, open, fill and seal the dross container inside the machine. Otherwise, the auxillary exhaust as you describe is a must. Be gentle in your movements. Don

I have never seen excess tin [heard of it, just never seen it]. Excess lead yes, but tin no. See, tin oxidizes faster than lead. This means that dross has a higher tin content than the solder in the pot. So, with a very high dross machine, we regul

The product I'm running currently consist a mix of 20 mil pitch QFP, 50 mil pitch, 0402, BGA and variable size of connectors from small to big, on OSP finished PCB. Running intrusive reflow with a mix packages is a real headache, esplly when you hav

Continuing, I�ve optioned about the uselessness of shear testing of solder connections on this forum previously. So, the points that you make about the elusiveness of developing a standard for measuring solder connection strength is well taken. I�l

Casimir: Let me expand on something that I said in my response to your thread on ionic testing. Generally, no-clean people don�t use ROSE testing as part of their process control, because the ROSE test is essentially washing your board in DI/IPA �
