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

Hi Steve We don�t double reflow this part. We wouldn�t consider it without a fixture or some other support. You know that sound, the almost involuntary sound that patrons in a restaurant make when a waiter drops a glass or a tray? It�s kind of an

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
