Basic understanding, 1) the 2% silver (Ag) gives better shine *joint surface*. 2) Ag improves stength & fatigue resistance of solder joints 3) reduces leech-out of silver from silver-base substrates (eg of such silver-base surface contact: metalli

| I use a Transition Automation Semi- Automatic stencil printer with laser cut frameless stencils. My solder paste is an SN63/PB37 RMA 291. I do not operate with in a controlled humidity enviroment. The room temp generally runs around 70 deg's but hu

| We process both tin/lead plated boards and gold plated boards in our surface mount group. I have used Sn62/Pb36/Ag2 solder paste on all gold plated boards to help prevent gold scavaging. To reduce the amount of different solder pastes we have to

*Reply to: ericr@nj.tanon.com Without going into a lengthy explaination {at this time}, has anyone experimented, tested, evaluate, and/or 'perfected' an SMT double-side reflow process. Presently I'm using a Kester R593 OA (water soluble) Sn63/Pb37 -

Hello Dave, Mechanically the conection between the component pad and PCB pad is good (the solder joint is very strong). The problem is associated with poor contact after the use by the customer (vibration, temperature, etc). You can see the pictures

Most of the capacitors & resistors supplier have implemented Leadfree finished on their components and like it or not, most of the PCBA house already using them in their process. I just got a notice from my component supplier telling me that they wil

We are currently wave soldering connectors that are held in place by stainless steel screws. About 20% of these screws emerge from the process with varying quantities of solder attached to them. We have just had our solder bath checked and no impurit

I have been working on the SMT area for a while now, must of my experience is on programming and pick and place, now in my new job I have to control a complete SMT line and I have a little knowledge on working with solder paste but I like to read mor
