| 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

| | 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

| Y'all: IPC set-up a site addressing the environmental issues of the printed circuit fabrication industry. Some of it is interesting and applicable to the assembly business as well, even though not aimed directly at assemblers. IPC has recently t

I have a question about inspection, touch-up, and how far you need to go to get a product that meets the required IPC-spec. According to some reports (i.e. "New Study Reveals Component Defect Levels" by Stig Oresjo of Agilent) the average defect leve

Hi Sandy B, You certainly can clean the BGA's using an inline or batch process. The correct method to hold them during this process, is the method that provides the desired outcome. I'm familiar with the desired outcome for cleaning singulated BGA

Hi, I read an article that says "Flux selection usually depends on the following factors": a) Solderability of pcb base metal or coating b) Corrosivity of vapours and residues c) electrical resistivity of residues d) Ease of removal of residues e)

| | | Gian | | | | | | You alarm me when you talk of white residues in a "no-clean" process. This should not happen. It sounds like you have compatibility problems between different residues and/or a poorly polymerised solder mask. | | | | | | Ther

Davef is right on as usual. We are doing exactly what you do. Some smt with no clean paste then the plate through connectors on our selective solder machine using water soluble flux. We then clean with a ultrasonic water process. We do see the re

Deni, You also need to check if your flux is properly wetting the board. Flux dewetting on the surface can also cause webbing. You can check that with spraying flux on the board surface and watch the wetting behavior. Patrick

| Hey all! | The wave solder warrior is back. I have found a flux which leave almost no residue (the least yet), but because of its super low solids content I absolutely cannot get topside fillets. The multi-layer, two sided board is on a pall
