Which tool do you prefer - vacuum pick and place or Tweezers?

[flesknava]

@hityou123 Vacuum pick and place for prototypes and tweezers for rework.

Question: how do you avoid bridges between IC pins? Will this method work on a DIY etched PCB without a solder mask?

cool!

[flesknava]

@vyshemirsky Thanks :) You can use this method for PCB`s without solder mask without any problems. For leaded solder paste it´s not so critical how accurately you dispense paste to the pads. You can even draw a solder paste line over the pads and surface tension will draw paste to the pads when solder melts. For lead-free solder paste it´s important to dispense small solder paste dot directly to the pad and avoid any splatters between pads because of weaker surface tension.

Question: Will this paste work on soldering wires on pcb boards instead of using soldering irons? Thanks for your info. although I wonder if you will reply seeing how this video is bit old.

[flesknava]

If you mean cables, wires, connectors and other through hole components yes it's possible. But I would do it with soldering iron and cored wire if you don't have a very high volume production.

@HumanityWins you can if it's not going to trap water inside it - washing an LCD display or anything not sealed would be bad.

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFF ka boommmmmmmm

[pkpk614350]

how can u cool down the PCB using water....What the well

[0815521576]

Can I use a soldering iron instead of the oven?

[xXDominoXx]

does the solder paste stay gooy even at room temp?

or are you placing the electrical components on solid solder?

and then it all solders to the components in the microwave oven?

[patsaxon]

I have seen such boards assembled by SMT machines, but never by hand. I have worked on an assembly line soldering SMT components with a hook type of soldering iron, but that was very hard and I had to look through a microscope.

[copperheadjr100]

hey, what exactly can you use a pcb for? do they work in computers?

[HumanityWins]

nice stuff. didnt know you can wash computer stuff under water :D
