Hello! We have a strange effect. Some pads of big trough-hole DDR slot just dessapear. Initialy it was soldered with selective soldering process (leaded, 290 degrees, ImSn finish, very short storage). Then some connectors with poor barrel fill we hav

Thank you for reply, Stephen. No, As I wrote it was leaded process. I heard that it is possible with lead free solder at higher temps an dwell time. At NPL Defect Database I've find this case wich looks exactly the same: http://defectsdatabase.npl.co

We are in the process of changing over our wave solder flux from alcohol based no clean to VOC free water based no clean. We are running an old Eletrovert with foam fluxer, tin lead solder. After preliminary testing on scrap boards and now starting t

HOW THICK IS THE BOARD? IS THERE A LOT OF COPPER IN THE BOARD? DOES YOUR CUSTOMERS PROVIDE HEAT RELIEF IN THE BOARDS BARREL DESIGN THERE NEEDS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LEADFREE SOLDER TO FLOW, DID YOU CHECK YOUR PIN(LEAD)TO HOLE (BARREL) RATIO? N

I have had a look at what Bob Willis say's and the answer to my problem is not there. The paste we are using has a very high viscosity and I beleive that if we reduce the metal content to less than 90% it will solve the problem. The problem is parti

First, why do you have paste on the opposite side of the component. I would recommend having it on the same side. Second, how thick is your stencil? Pin in paste requires thickness, to fill the whole barrel. Stencil should be really thick. Try to man

Jim: Several points: 1 If you�re correct about corrosion of your component leads (which is entirely possible if the leads are steel, as you say), then the AIM 264-5 no-clean may not be aggressive enough to remove the corrosion you are seeing routin

Get-out the razor blades, bud. You could run that sukka for 6 sec dwell, cook breakfast on it, and you still will not get fill. [Hole file that is, breakfast will go along ways if peckish, though.] You could fire-up the depleted ozone rework gun [

Those temp stickers are useless unless you can stick them into the copper barrel. They can only determine "skin" temperature which has nothing to do with what is happening in the barrels. Your solder is filling the barrel then going cold. I'll gua

First off what bone-head designer put them there in the first place. Vias in solder lands is a big time no no. I had this problem at a CEM I worked at. I had the customer change the design but had to run the 6 samples they supplied. I ended up fillin
