I'm putting together a spec for testing solder tips for resistance, voltage leakage, and temp tolerance. I've found solid numbers for both max acceptable resistance and voltage leakage, but nothing for max temp tolerance. Anyone have values they're

�What does 5 micrograms of chloride mean to me?� * With SIR testing, you can show no detrimental leakage currents under humid conditions, no corrosion, no metal migration, which are the big factors in figuring out electrochemical reliability. People

I am posting this here because I think it may have something to do with PCBA: I have a simple battery-powered consumer product (LED light) that we have been manufacturing for some time. All of a sudden in one batch, we have about a 4% rate of a sing

Hello all, We have received reports from two customers about electrical leakage on pcb assemblies that used Kester paste #HM531 (63/37) and washed with Kester 'Bio-kleen' saponifier and DI water. The leakage is such that when the boards receive power

Oh. [Howabout if I smack you?] If ahma connectin� wif whut yer sayin�, you: * Don�t like the appearance of the glue slobberin� out from under the component even though there is no apparent glue on solderable surfaces. * Concerned about the hydrosco

Mr Lao We have some specialist knowledge on this subject and offer both equipment and services for these tests. My first recommendation is that take coupons manufactured by your PC Fabricator and then samples at each manufacturing stage: Bare coupon

Continuing along the path that Brian took ... IPC-7525 gives design guideline for stepped stencils. It goes something like: * Stepped area SB GT 25 thou from pads located on the greatest thickness of the stencil * Pads in stepped area SB GT 35 tho

Dendritic growth is always a result of three combined factors: Conductive/corrosive residues Electrical current Moisture A wave solder process normally applies a higher volume of flux than a printed process. Flux however is not the only source. F

Have you got a circuit diagram for your driver board? If not measure your driver into a resistive load and look for differences in current flow voltage drops under load dried out caps. Dead current measuring circuits etc. If you see an IC, look it up

Good morning! In order to comply with current IPC J-STD-001G Appendix A-2, I'm putting together a log to periodically monitor solder tip temp tolerance, tip resistance, voltage leakage, etc.. I'm solely focusing on the hand solder stations for the t
