Dear All, Would anyone know what kind of solders are typically used for products/modules (eg. off the shelf VCOs, TCXOs etc..) that need to get reflowed onto a customers board once again after initial manufacture?. Do the manufacturers have any considerations with the type of solder?, or isnt it a problem?.. Things that I am thinking of are if it is better to allow the component (VCO) to reflow once again as it being places onto the app. board, or to have a higher temp solder to keep things in place?. Would there be problems with the high temp solder becoming brittle etc?. Any ideas always appreciated!, Cheers, Seppo. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
