Our manufacturing site has been struggling with soldering Alloy 42 TSOPs. Currently, we have to hand solder in one of our applications. Here are the particulars. Component: 54 leads, Sn plated, 400microinches +/-200. Process: Eutectic 63/37 Sn/Pb

I'm with DaveF on this one. I think you'll be trying solve this one for a long time. Alloy42 just doesn't like to be soldered. What exactly is the issue? Lack of a toe fillets at on the cropped lead? There is no spec for a toe fillet other than to

We agree with Russ that you're talking palladium instead of platinum. Your wetting problem likely is not the Pd-Ag surface layers, but the underlying metal or nickel to which you need to wet. Either a base metal is: * Contaminated and poorly wettabl

Are you saying you have solder balls (as in solder paste balls) at the lead tips (or land tip)? This means your thermal profile is not hot enough. why the sudden cahnge? I will bet the lead frame material was copper and is now alloy 42. sounds like

Hi, I don't know if it will help but we talked about soldering Nickel on this thread: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=8051&#Message31803 where we used Cobar solder paste for soldering all types of

We're not clear on what you seek. So, as a starting point for our discussion, we wouldn't get agitated if we saw "routine" coplanarity of 4 thou. For instance: Maximum Lead Coplanarity [Altera] Package||Acronym||Lead material||Finish||Maximum Lead

They take the solder in a dip and look solderability test but when in normal reflow process we got some pins that do not get wet and the appearance is as follows: -Pillow effect on the toe(no front fillet is formed) -There is a sheet of flux between

Several years ago, we had almost same pbm, best results have been obtained by using water soluble paste (those time the old AM1208). Any way, to get a good toe meniscus is not so easy. Talking about CTE, keep in consideration the internal die of TSO
