Hello, We are facing solderability issues on a particular lot of board. THe Nickel thickness measured with an XRF is around 400 U inches. Spec calls out for 130 u inches Nickel and 3 - 5 U inches gold over it. Assuming there is no porosity on the g

Hi Was wondering what the general take is with reflow profiles to take into account differing solder paste alloy compared to the solder alloy used for the bumps of a bga device. For instance, SAC305 solder paste and BGA device with SAC105 (higher m

Your reflow profile should be designed towards the flux in your solder paste. To form a proper inter-metallic layer, you need to reach 20-30C above your melting point and stay in liquidus state for certain amount of time. SAC 105 has 3C difference fr

This may be completely normal, but I'm not used to seeing this with our old SnPb. I'm setting up reflow profiles for a SAC305 alloy, and it seems that on some of our larger pads, the flux seems to pool in the center. Is this perhaps a sign that I'm

We have used the SN100C for over a year now with fanastic results. We use the SAC305 for SMT and SN100C wire exclusively. There are no problem mixing the alloys. I am also on the commitee for the NASA testing. The SN100C did out perform SAC and SnPb

We are in the process of launching a new product and found reflow solder issue with one of the inductors. I have set oven profile to paste specifications. I just finished profiling with thermocouple under problem component. All other components ex

Hi All, I'm using 8 zone reflow for ROHS 0.2mm Thick PCB soldering, but Micro BGA shows voids more than 25%. Is there anybody can suggest for better solder profile. paste- aim m8, SAC 305, T4, Soaking (150-200) - tried 90s, 60s, 45s; TAL (>217)-

Hi, I am having a SAC 305 solder paste with water soluble flux wetting issue. during reflow, the solder melts, but doesnt flow. the reflow profile was developed by the solder company person (Kester). the board is a test assembly to validate our LF pr

Yes, we added some soak, we also use a 5 zone oven. We utilize a .020" x .020" pad with center to center at .042". We only get tombstones on misplacement or bad paste release now. Registration of component is key with pbfree, the parts just don't s

I have seen smt chip varistors with Pd/Ag teminations that had poor wetting in terms of good fillet in LF (sac305) soldering. We found that the solder tended to be attracted to the plating on the part and off the actual pad (silver Immersion). This c
