Since I'm new to the forum I probably ask previously answered questions (that I have not found) but I would be grateful if someone could clarify this for me. I'm in R&D at a company where we design low volume (1k-10k) fairly complex PCBAs for our pr

We've all been soldering Pb free parts for a couple decades. All your surface mount capacitors have probably had a Sn finish for years. Whenever one of our parts with a SnPb finish converts for Pb free we have the manufacturing site do a small buil

Need your help with a referee call on solder balls. See attached pictures. Engineering believes the solder balls and splash in pictures violate IPC-A-610E-2010 section 5.2.7.1. Purchasing on the other hand believes these are acceptable. Info: balls a

Which type? * Solder beads (mid-chip solder balls, attached to the waste line of your chip caps and resistors) This is more paste volume related. * Solder balls that tend to be more randomly scattered (as in spattered)? This tends to be more profile

| | Recently, there has been an upsurge in the Pin Hole/Blow Hole problem in our wave soldering process. We are baking the PCBs for 2 Hrs. at 125 degree C. The Wave Soldering profile seems to be O.K. Still the problem is persistent. Can somebody h

Well, Ray Rassmussen believes that "IT" may put China on it's ear. Not sure about any of you, but I never felt the need to splash water on my face whilst reading this white paper. Hate to see how he'd react to seeing a board going over a 500 degree

You should also remove all the pump parts and clean them, checking the bearings and seals. Clean completely the parts that allow the solder to flow back into the pot; ours have a spiral that fills with dross. Treat yourself to new nozzles. Tinning

Hi, We are manufacturing a small PCB with large areas of gold plating. We experience from time to time what appear to be solder splashes on the gold areas. I do not believe the contamination to be from "outgassing" due to the distance from the dep
