Hello! We are having field failures due to cracking of the solder on our SMD micro switch components. I have been reading the IPC standards, and the only thing that it states regarding the solder profile/amount for Gull Wing component is "wetted fill

George, I looked at the winkic & profit software and tool's a while ago along with some of the alternatives. No matter what anyone tell's you in the 1st instance you do still need a profile card as what you are doing is comparing the known good prof

Marc, Topside temperature is one of the most critical parameters for a successful solder process. Temp stickers are OK to use but won�t tell you the temperature in tight areas. The temp gun like Jay suggested is what I use as a quick indicator. (Rayt

Hello Brad, We are running the Slim Kic 2000. We have found the predictions to be fairly accurate as long as the suggested change is within 20 degrees of the original recipie. As a test I ran a board with the wrong profile. The predictions got me wi

I know, I've read the "been there done that" stories about this subject, but I still profess ignorance on some aspects. We are using NPO type dialectric caps in potted high voltage assemblies and continue to experience catastrophic vailures. Upon

| The question raised by our components engineering group is, is it possible to tell whether these failures are thermally or mechanically induced. The focus of design engineering up until now has been on process. Are our reflow temps ok, are the pa
