| I am looking for information regarding post wave soldering of stranded wires into a circuit board using OA core wire solder. We do a final pass thru the cleaner after the hand soldering but I'm concerned about any OA flux residue that may have wic

See, I didn�t bite on you zinc diffusion trick that you tried to pull last week. Understand, in this response, I am NOT trying to bust you. I�m trying to determine what you are looking to understand. [Some times I get so locked into talking a cert

Dave, I'm going to disagree with you on the ENIG, it's my 3rd choice only just beating out OSP for that 4th spot. 1. Immersion Silver - cheaper than ENIG, as flat and no issues with Brittle interface (black pad) or Gold Embrittlement) Longer shelf l

Here's what I believe is happening. The main difference between the HASL boards and the gold plated boards is that HASL boards are pre-soldered. HASL boards need very little flux activity to get good hole fill and the machine settings have a wide pro

MoonMan, I'll take a crack at the list. Feel free to answer the ones I don't! 1. Solderability is a parameter which indicates how well a component can be soldered. As far as Solder Termination Coatings go, here are some up�s and down�s of a few. Ha

We find that the raw BGA's pad sheared surface has the SnPb solder at various Z heights whereas the assembled BGAs pad leave a smooth layer of SnPb along the pad. Like to understand the cause for the difference. Who could guess? Solder joint streng

>>>>Dave, The BGA substrate surface finish is NiAu, while the PCBA pad surface is HASL. The solder ball composition is SnPb 63/37 and the solder paste used on the PCBA is also the same but with 2% Silver.>>> Dave, sorry I don't have the picture with
