you would be best to get this from your paste/solder manufacture. but here are some rules of thumb: -Solder paste out of fridge before use - get out the night before needed.. don't let your op's warm on the oven!! you will regret that! if not over ni

Hi Patrick, With all due respect, it is easy to quantify zero. You made a claim that your flux produces ZERO residue. There are several industry-standards (IPC and Military) of determining the cleanliness of post-reflowed circuit assemblies. Th

Hi, I have used these type systems in the past and had trouble with white residue and flux removal under low standoff components. All cleaning systems need DI water and this requirement adds another layer of system cost if you don't have DI availabl

| Hi folks, | | I am looking for inputs on a long-standing problem encountered in our shop: Bottom-side parts (passives) falling off in the Wave...where the only remnants of the part is a flattened glue dot of proper diameter and volume, and somet

Hey Marc, I am not sure about the kind of process you are following. Is it Gluing+paste printing on the bottom side or just gluing on the bottom side and paste printing on the top side. The relationship which I could think of between Bottom side

| How do I mechanically/visually inspect BGA devices when they are soldered to a PCB for possible solder, or other, defects as a first step before part removal and further analysis? I have had board failures due to poor soldering--I think? I can pr

| We currently bake plastic SMT parts in accordance with the IPC guidelines for moisture sensitive parts. Because we have double-sided boards that are subjected to either an aqueous or semi-aqueous cleaning process, we do a 24 hour bake at 125 deg.
