The Difference between Red Glue and Solder Paste used in SMT

 What is Red Glue?

Red glue is a kind of polydilute compound, it will solidify after heating, the freezing point temperature is 150 ℃, and the paste will become solid directly.

 

 

 

What is Solder Paste?

Solder paste is a new type of soldering material that came into being with SMT. It is a paste-like mixture formed by mixing solder powder, flux and other surfactants, thixotropic agents, etc.

 

 

 

The Difference between Solder Paste and Red Glue:

1. Red glue is red paste, and solder paste is gray paste.

 

 

2. The main function of the red glue is to fix the components on the PCB, so as to prevent the components from falling off during wave soldering. Red glue does not conduct electricity, it only plays a role in fixing. Solder paste is to solder the components on the PCB pads, and can complete the mechanical and electrical connection between the components and the PCB through the current.

 

 

3. The red glue is applied on the PCB solder mask between the two pads. The solder paste is dotted on the pads.

 

 

4. After the red glue is cured at high temperature, it cannot be melted by reheating. After the solder paste is cooled and solidified at high temperature, it can be melted by reheating.

 

 

5. During wave soldering, the temperature of red glue is lower than that of solder paste.

 

 

6. The red glue adopts a dispensing technology, which is suitable for PCB with few points. The solder paste adopts a furnace printing process, which can print a large number of PCB at one time.

 

 

In summary, the choice of red glue or solder paste mainly depends on the use of PCB product design materials. Generally, solder paste is used when traditional components are not used on PCB products. However, in the single sided PCB with traditional components, red glue is generally used. In some use occasions, solder paste and red glue can also be mixed.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of the OSP Technology

图片
     With the continuous development of the electronics industry, there are more and more PCB surface treatment technologies, and each technology has its own merits. OSP is a commonly used surface treatment technology process, what are its advantages and disadvantages?       Compared with other surface treatment technologies, OSP is somewhat different.  It uses a chemical method to produce an organic film on the clean bare copper surface, which acts as a barrier between the copper and the air.   OSP is organic, not  metallic,   and its cost is lower than most surface treatment technologies.     Advantages: With this organic film, it can resist the attack of moisture in the air without being oxidized before welding,  can withstand the test of high temperature, maintain good activity, and has a good tinning ability.  This layer of organic film will not cause damage to the sheet material. It can be easily removed by the solder resist during soldering. It can solder the copper wire and the

What PCBA Problems Can AOI Inspect

图片
        With the development of science and technology, the volume of PCBA is getting smaller and more precise, and some defects in processing cannot be distinguished with the naked eye, so AOI has appeared.  So what PCBA problems can AOI inspect?   The working principle of AOI is to first collect and input parameters such as images, component positions, solder joints and other parameters of the good-quality board.   During the inspection, the instrument automatically scans the circuit board and automatically captures the image, and then compares the collected data with the pre-entered parameters to determine whether the characteristics of solder joints, components and other aspects are consistent. If the data is inconsistent, the d efect  will be flagged through the display for maintenance personnel to repair.     AOI is mainly used to inspect solder paste printing, component placement and soldering. For example: too much or too little solder paste,   solder paste printing offset;  co

The Role of Shield Cover in PCB Design

图片
  SHENZHEN HOYOGO ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. specializes in providing overall PCBA electronics manufacturing services, and can also provide customers with a full range of value-added services: including SMT assembly, PCB program development, schematic design, PCB layout and routing, Bom list matching, component procurement and other services. Do you know the role of shield cover in PCB design? What is a Shield Cover? The shield cover is an alloy metal cover, which is a vital component to reduce the radiation of the display. It is used in MID or VR products, which can effectively reduce the mutual interference between modules. It is common in the isolation between the main control function module and the power module and the Wifi module. The  P urpose of  S hield  Cover   C lip Generally, there are products that use wireless communication, and shield frames are usually designed on the circuit board to isolate electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, to make the shield frame fun
