Is this an established process that is just now exhibiting these problems, or is this a brand new process you're just setting up? What is the rest of your process like? What is done to the boards before you coat them? Water washed? Solvent washed? Sa

We have successfully put .016" vias in .030" pads. There is no issue with .030" solder balls, since the actual volume of the .002" via in pad is small compared to the ball+solder paste volume. We did notice random bubbles where, apparently, the sol

We have successfully put .016" vias in .030" pads. There is no drain off with .030" solder balls, since the actual volume in the .002" depression is low. We did notice random bubbles where, apparently, the solder reflowed and trapped the air in the

We have recently started building a new assembly that is exhibiting some strange behavior. We are seeing what look like blow holes in wave soldered joints. When the joints are touched up, the solder in the barrel will actually bubble up from the ho

@tommyg_fla According to the TDS the recommended coating thickness for Humiseal 1B31 is only 1-3 mils so if I had to guess I would say your issue might be that you're re-coating over the first pass too soon. All the solvent hasn't evaporated and the

OK, why are you hand fluxing? You may want to take the time to use your real fluxer. Yeah, it's a bit messy but you can control the amount of flux you're putting on the board. And with water based fluxes, this is critical. If you are stuck to han

There is no IPC specification, nor should there be. * There are just too many peculiarities in the design and fabrication of PWB. * The issue is not defining how to store boards. The issue setting expectation for reliable products and allowing you th

We have an Electromechanical assembly (clock) that has a step motor on the board. This electromechanical assembly is assembled in a screw less plastic moulded casing. The plastic casing is neither air tight nor water proof. The board is with SMOBC+ H

I have soaked the chains in a 5 gallon bucket with wd40. It does a great job cleaning the chain. After they are done soaking i take an air gun outside and blow the chain off. I found that using a medium temp lubricant does not cause alot of buildup o
