We no advice to give you on the topic, but maybe while you're waiting for others to reply, reading a trade journal article on the topic might help. Below is a link to "Pin-in-hole reflow (PIHR) and lead-free solder joints" by David Bernard, Bob Willi

Dear all, Referring technical report from Vitronics Soltec, "Pad lifting, fillet lifting and fillet tearing issues in LF soldering". The use of LF solder alloys today has brought about a recurrence of this crack formation, called fillet tearing. The

Answers: The component does take solder, no problem We get a full barrel fill with an empty PCB but only on one of the holes, the other hole has so much copper around it. The flux reached the top of the PCB when I tested the empty PCB. The IPC-A-610

Yes, there are ways to machine process boards like this. The devil is in the detail. In no particular order, your choices are: Process flow #1: * Print chipbonder on the surface mount side for SMT parts * Mount SMT components * Cure adhesive, if r

Dear all, Referring comment from Mr. Jack,IPC director certification & assembly technology, the term "fillet tearing" is too broad. Cracks or fractures in the required fillet area, with SnPb or LF alloy and whether you call it tearing or not, is a D

What are you trying to do: * Improve hole fill? * Reduce PTH voiding? Hole fill: Search the fine SMTnet Archives for stuff like: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=36063 PTH voiding: Ideally, there are no voids. We're unawar

Hi Everyone, I am trying to site dress PTH holes filled with Nihon solder mixed with SAC solder at the rework station. But what i am seeing is the solder just doesn't melt and I am not able to suck the solder out of the PTH. Has anyone faced this i

Hi All, Via X-rays, we found solder voids appear on PTH location, especially on Dimm connectors area. We think this should be related to PCB issue as we found solder unable to fill up the PTH hole during bare board testing at wave soldering machi

The methods of verifying PTH hole-fill. 1 Visual inspection 2 x-ray inspection works very well for inspecting such a connector for voiding and hole fill. View the connector off-vertical, at between 30 and 45 degrees. As always, the solder connect
