We have recently started building a new assembly that is exhibiting some strange behavior. We are seeing what look like blow holes in wave soldered joints. When the joints are touched up, the solder in the barrel will actually bubble up from the ho

1500 lbs) vary by a couple of degrees) were standard. I thought that flux penetration into PTH barrel and solder pot immersion depth and solder pot parallelism would be also critical factors. We are using the ECD WaveRider to measure the implied sold

I think the BLT solder joints look very shiny for no-lead. We are getting very good top side solder with ours though. They look like this. - Gold Enig plating - Alpha EF-6100 Flux - SAC305 - Preheat topside temperatures at 110 to 120C

Hi Guys, We prints solder paste on via hole as the holes are used as the test points. This is a clean process. In normal production, upon completion of a primary side, board will proceed to secondary process immediately. The problem happened when

A good solder connection with heavy ground plane requires: * Plenty of heat [Is the preheater located too far from the wave? Whenever you look at board temperature, there is a sharp decrease in temperature between the preheater and the wave.] * Conta

We all know that whenever possible, we want thermal relief between the barrel/pad and the copper foil to make it easier to properly solder that through hole connector. My question is, assuming there is no connection from the barrel to a copper layer

I have done a few studies on this issue here. As a result we have increased hole diameter on heavily ground planed pins to a min of .015" over the lead diameter as well as preheating the PCB when hand soldering. I have also had to order the upper pre

We used to bake [100*C for 6 hours] all of our boards, but no longer bake at all. Before going off, your bake recipe is probaly OK. If anything, it's probably too short. Consider measuring the weight of wet boards, baking for a time, measure, bake

on the front end in design, minimize the pth connections to ground planes. this takes alot of work by the pcb designer and the approval of the design engineer. connect maximum of 4 ground planes to pth, minimum 1 plane. use spoked connections. ev

Are you using the correct nozzle for 0402? Cant remember the number OTTOMH but 501 rings a bell. somewhere I have the table, it is in the Juki service manual IIRC. This would explain placing all others okay but 0402 is not very good , Senoirtech is c
