Thanks! Steve Gregory -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Graham Naisbitt Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 7:04 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Expired Solder Paste Hi Juliano and fellow Techies, It might be useful to you to consider using a relatively new Process Control Standard available from SMART Group (www.smartgroup.org) entitled: Control of Solder Paste used in Electronic Assembly Process This was developed from the IPC-J-STD005 solder paste test methods, but adapted for use by folks using paste as opposed to the manufacturer. The Scope states: This Standard is intended to determine the suitability of solder paste prior to its employment on the production line; reduce process defects and minimise rework. The tests are, by necessity, fast and simple to perform; with commercially available equipment and may be completed in less than 1 hour. A list of defects, test methods and the time/cost implications are shown If anyone would like a copy they could contact SMART Group or let me know and I can forward a copy.
