Compressed air for SMT

2023-05-27

Compressed air for SMT SMT compressed air requirements: clean and dry Dust particles, oil and liquid water in the air can be removed by relying on high efficiency filters. Many users only install simple oil and water separators at the inlet end of their SMT equipment. These have a very low filtration efficiency (typically no higher than 90%) and do not provide the level of gas purification required for SMT equipment use. The principles used for gas and liquid filtration are completely different, as the behavioural patterns of particles in air and liquid are quite different. Liquid filtration is mainly based on "blocking", while air filtration has three different principles: one is "direct capture" of larger, heavier particles that move in a straight line; the second is "inertial collision", which is used to capture slightly smaller, lighter particles that change direction slightly with the air flow; and very small particles are filtered out due to "Brownian motion". Once the particles hit the fibres, they are held firmly in place due to van der Waals forces, electrostatic suction and vacuum suction. Filters with high efficiency should be made of filter materials with good performance (e.g. borosilicate fibres) to provide clean air. At present, there are many filters designed and manufactured according to different filtering principles, and the following principles should be followed in the selection: (1) the level of the filter should be selected according to the situation of the compressed air source and the requirements for the use of the production equipment (e.g. the requirements of the equipment for the quality of compressed air, the pressure and flow of gas, etc.); (2) the filters of different levels should be followed in order from the low level to the highest level when used in combination configuration, can not jump levels at will} (3) filter element working life should be as long as possible, filter element replacement and maintenance should be convenient and simple; (4) the pressure drop between the filter inlet and outlet should be as small as possible; (5) the design of the filter should meet the requirements of ** production. Now, having a filter is not enough because, the water vapour in the air cannot be removed using a conventional filter and must be removed using a special drier. At present, there is a wide range of drying equipment for compressed air. Although the traditional adsorption dryer is cheap, it is bulky, the adsorbent is easy to age, consumes a lot of energy, and the regeneration of the adsorbent is more troublesome to deal with, and the filtering effect on water vapour is poor. Refrigerated dryer is a kind of compressed air drying equipment which is widely used* and *economical. Compared with other drying equipment, it does not consume any desiccant during operation and has the characteristics of energy consumption* saving and simple operation and maintenance*. SMT production equipment is generally required to be used in the plant where air conditioning is installed. In the hot and humid season, due to the large temperature difference between inside and outside the plant, the humid air is pressed into the network system by the air compressor without adding drying, and a large amount of water will condense in the process of temperature drop, while the water vapour remaining in the compressed air will directly enter the production equipment and continue to precipitate water in the process of further cooling, causing equipment damage. It is therefore essential that the air is dried before it enters the air-conditioned plant to filter out the water vapour contained in the air.

Electroplating process and role

2023-05-27

Electroplating process and role Acid dip: the main role is to remove the oxide layer on the board surface, to avoid water brought into the copper cylinder and affect the content of sulphuric acid. Cleaner: This cleaner is acidic and its main function is to remove fingerprints, grease and other residues from the surface of the board to keep it clean. Therefore, the grease, fingerprints should be prevented as a priority: and must pay attention to the compatibility of the resist layer and the matching between other fluids in the same line, and reduce the surface tension, the ability to exclude air bubbles in the hole. Micro-etching: As all kinds of dry film resist have additives to promote adhesion deep into the copper layer, 20~50u" of copper should be removed in this step to ensure a fresh copper layer to obtain good adhesion. Washing: The main function is to wash the residual solution from the board surface and the holes. Copper plating: The main components of the copper plating solution are copper sulphate, sulphuric acid, chloride ions, contaminants and other additives. Their respective roles are as follows: Copper sulphate: to provide the basic conductive copper ions required for plating to occur, the concentration is too high, although the operating current density can be slightly higher than the upper limit, but due to the concentration gradient difference is large, easy to cause Throwingpower**, and copper ions are too low, because the deposition rate is easily greater than the speed of diffusion movement, resulting in hydrogen ion reduction and the formation of scorching. Sulphuric acid: To provide a conductive acid ion to the bath. The ratio of sulphuric acid to copper is usually considered as "18g/l of copper metal + 180g/l of sulphuric acid" to maintain the acid to copper ratio above 10/1, 12:1 is better, ** not less than 6:1, high acid and low copper amount is prone to scorching, while low acid and high copper is not conducive to ThrowingPower. Chlorine ion: Its function is twofold, to help dissolve the anode properly and to help other additives to form a glossy effect, but too much chlorine ion will easily cause polarisation of the anode. Insufficient chloride ions can lead to abnormal consumption of other additives and imbalances in the bath (even fog deposition or step plating at very high levels; levelling** at too low levels). Other additives: The combined function of all other organic additives can achieve a regular crystalline arrangement of the lustre effect and improve the physical strength of the plating, while a relative excess of additives can easily cause the decomposition and oxidation of organic matter, pollution of the bath, increase in the frequency of activated carbon treatment, or an increase in the co-precipitation ratio of organic matter, resulting in increased internal stress and reduced ductility of the plating. Pollutants: Organic and inorganic pollutants can be distinguished, as the destruction of the equiaxial crystalline structure causes physical deterioration and co-precipitation causes deterioration in appearance. The sources of organic contamination are: oxidative decomposition of lustre agents, inks, dry films, baths, filters, anode bags, hanger cladding films and other filtered out substances and environmental pollutants. The sources of inorganic pollution are: environmental pollution, water pollution and basic material pollution.

Laminating process

2023-05-04

Laminating process Surface mount adhesives (SMAs) are used in wave soldering and reflow soldering to keep components in place on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and to ensure that components are not lost during transfer on the assembly line.     Most surface mount adhesives (SMAs) used in PCB assembly are epoxies, although polypropylene (acrylics) are also used for special applications. Epoxies have become a more mainstream adhesive technology worldwide following the introduction of high-speed drip systems and the electronics industry's mastery of how to handle products with relatively short shelf life. Epoxy resins generally provide good adhesion to a wide range of circuit boards and have very good electrical properties.  Epoxy chip adhesive formulations offer a wide range of benefits to the user, including good dripability, continuous and consistent dot profile and size, high wet and cure strength, fast cure, flexibility and resistance to temperature shock. Epoxy resins allow high speeds for very small glue dots, providing very good on board curing electrical properties, no dragging lines and no collapsing during the heat cure cycle. (As epoxy resins are heat sensitive, they must be stored under refrigerated conditions to ensure *great shelf life.)     Using visual inspection or automated equipment, SMA must contrast with the typical green or brown boards. Red and yellow have become the two basic adhesive colours due to the use of automated visual control systems to aid the inspection process. However, the ideal colour is determined by the visual comparison between the board and the adhesive.    Typically, the heat curing of epoxy resins takes place in-line, in an infrared (IR) channel oven. The *lowest* temperature to start curing is 100°C, but in fact curing temperatures range from 110 to 160°C. Temperatures above 160°C speed up the curing process, but tend to cause fragile glue joints.    Adhesive strength is key to the performance of the adhesive and is determined by many factors such as adhesion to the component and PCB, the shape and size of the adhesive dot and the level of cure. The three *common* causes of insufficient adhesive strength are insufficient cure, insufficient glue volume and poor adhesion.     Glue dot profile The flow characteristics of the glue, or rheology, affect the formation of the epoxy resin glue dot as well as its shape and size.  SMA allows for fast and controlled drops of glue in order to form a defined shape of glue dot. In order to ensure a good and stable glue dot profile, the glue is cleverly designed to be shake-soluble (i.e., thinning when stirred and thickening when stationary). In this process, the viscosity of the SMA is reduced when subjected to shear forces during dripping, allowing easy flow. When the glue hits the PCB surface, it rapidly re-structures and regains its original tackiness.    The dot profile is also influenced by the recovery rate of the shake, the viscosity at zero shear rate and other factors. The actual dot shape may be "pointed"/conical or hemispherical. However, the dot profile is defined by non-viscous parameters such as dot volume, drip needle diameter and off-board height. That is, for a given grade of glue, it is possible to produce either very high narrow glue dots or low wide glue dots by adjusting their parameters.    After placement, the drips of glue have two requirements: they must be smaller in diameter than the gap between the pads and be high enough to connect the gap between the PCB surface and the component body without interfering with the placement head. The gap in the glue is determined by the height of the pads above the PCB soldermask and the difference in thickness between the end metal and the component body. This gap can vary, being smaller than 0.05mm for flat chip components and larger than 0.3mm for SOP (small-outline package) and QFP.    High drops of glue ensure good glue coverage on components with a high height above the ground. A high glue point also allows the glue to be squeezed out between components with a low ground clearance without fear of contamination of the pad. Typically, two sets of drip parameters are used together for the same level of glue: one produces a high, high volume glue dot for components with high ground clearance, and the other provides a medium height and volume glue dot for flat sheet components and MELF (metal electrode face) components.    The glue dot size is also controlled by the ratio of the inner diameter of the selected nozzle to the height above the ground. Typically, the dot width to height ratio ranges from 1.5:1 to 5:1 (h/w = 0.2 to 0.6), depending on the parameters of the drip system and the grade of glue. These ratios can be optimised for any component by adjusting the machine settings.    Moisture in the glue joints may boil during curing, causing voids, weakening the glue joints and opening pathways for solder to penetrate underneath the component, possibly c
