ECD, KIC, or any mfgr. of thermal profiling devices will charge a premium for "simple stuff". For example, ECD charges a grand for their "flux-o-meter", which is just a PCB with a hole pattern, a pallet, and pH-sensitive paper. You can easily ma

Thanks for the link Samir. Although this thread does have some good info in it I don't think it is hitting the exact point I am trying to resolve. This seems to talk to a one profile fits all for running lead and lead free paste. I want to know about

Hello All, We have a problem with dewetting of solder paste. Problem is most visible on the pads without components (see attached pictures) and occurs randomly, 20% of PCB's. Pcb supplier sent us a cross-section of pads with thickness of Cu, Ni and

My company just purchased a Vecta (E-vert) wave soldering machine. Bridging has become a serious issue, both on SMT components and thru hole. We are currently seeing about 500 ppm. The products that are being run now were run previously on our old

We are planning on converting to a no-clean soldering chemistry and will need to replace our water soluble liquid solder mask as a result. Does anyone know of a dispensable, "peelable" solder mask I can evaluate? It would be nice to find one that i

Good morning Bob. Darby from Australia here. We sometimes see an orange peel type finish on our reflow solder joints when viewed under the microscope. Any ideas on what causes this ? Should I worry about it. I use a straight rise profile ( no "platea

I have made reference to X-ray Ball Bond Signatures a number of times, and I cannot overstate the importance of quickly qualifying the overall ball bond pattern as either uniform in size and shape or not. Software is available that will make this qua

I believe that at the present time the industry really does not know how to use x-ray inspection apart from indentifying the obvious defects such as shorts, missing balls and gross solder voids. The real utility of x-ray inspection is to recognize: 1

We are interested in doing some further studies on our cleaning process, particularly with respect to how well we can clean underneath low profile components. As an SMT subcontractor, we'd ideally like to qualify our chemistry/cleaning process to cer
