March, 2012 FCT Assembly: New Solder and Stencil Technologies


Milpitas, CA — FCT Assembly is showcasing its new line of no-clean, halogen-free solder pastes along with its latest stencil technologies. NL930PT is a halogen-free, no-clean, lead-free, pin-probable solder paste. The paste is unusual in that it is a clear residue, pin-probable paste that can print down to low surface area ratios consistently. Another product, NC676, repor -


tedly provides best-in-class solder spread and wetting, print volume consistency down to 12mm circles and IPC 7095 Class III resistance to voiding — using both straight ramp and soak reflow profiles. The no- clean, halogen-free paste leaves a col- orless residue that is penetrable,


maximizing pin testability. WS889 is FCT’s newest lead-


free water soluble solder paste. The paste reportedly provides excellent wetting on all surface finishes with consistent printing down to low sur- face area ratios and can be run in R/H of 30-65 percent without slump. WS159 is another water-soluble


solder paste, and it offers excellent solder spread and wetting. It also provides print volume consistency down to 12mm circles and IPC 7095 Class III resistance to voiding using both straight ramp and soak reflow profiles. WS159 is fully cleanable, with the widest cleaning process win- dow in its class. SN100C Bar Solder is used in wave soldering machines


and has proven its reliability in prod- ucts exposed to the most severe serv- ice environments. The solder is for- mulated for low drossing, low copper erosion, shiny finish, easiest mainte- nance of all lead-free alloys, joint reliability at least equal to that of Sn63/Pb37. Fine Line Stencil will showcase


its new UltraSlic™ Stencil with Nano-Coating. This high perform- ance stencil technology has become the preferred choice when printing assemblies with challenging minia- ture components. The addition of a permanent, hydrophobic nanocoating to the stencil foil minimizes solder paste’s ability to stick to the stencil apertures and the bottom side of the


foil. Using this stencil results in up to a 10X increase in the number of prints before cleaning the stencil, and it provides successful printing at surface area ratios below 0.45. The

addition of nano-coating to the sten- cil further increases the performance gap between it and any other stencil


technologies available today. Contact: FCT Assembly, 675

Bottomside tooling support for Mydata machines.


The Quik-tool/MYDATA solu-


tion eliminates the need for time-con- suming tooling setup and expensive dedicated fixtures. The company is the only tooling manufacturer to pro- vide a fully integrated solution for the MYDATA E series line. The new modules provide a


13mm bottom-side clearance, report- edly the highest of any compliant tooling. The new system overcomes a previous limitation due to a low tool- ing pin stroke and subsequent inabil- ity to accommodate tall components on the PCB bottomside. The kit can be installed easily by shop personnel or by a Quik-tool representative in about 1.5 hours and is operated by pressing one button in manual mode or hands-free in the automatic mode. Once the system is installed, it may be reconfigured to support nearly
