The ShareGen SPA 1000 Solder Paste Analyzer provides testing to control and manage solder paste in the production process. Is said to reduce a range of defects, including missing components, tombstoning, component misalignment, and non-wetting. Reportedly can perform up to six separate tests. Can be used to conduct solder paste open time testing.
The System 855A benchtop rework station’s profiling adjustments include push-button settings for temperature, airflow volume and duration. Unit proceeds automatically through three preheating zones and two reflow zones before auto shutoff. Up to 10 profiles can be stored in the memory. Has temperature range of up to 350°C. Includes external thermocouple on the PCB and an adjustable ceramic underheater. The production cycle begins as a heating nozzle is attached to the head, and then z-lowered onto the component. When reflow is complete, the head is automatically lifted, as solder residue is cleared.
Loctite 3508 cornerbond underfill material for BGA and CSP devices is a one-component epoxy that is pre-applied to the board at the corners of the CSP pad site using a standard dispensing system. Can be applied inline with existing capital equipment, with curing during the solder reflow process. Is Pb-free compatible and permits rework. Has a pot life greater than 30 days.
