Hi all, I'm would like to try intrusive reflow (pin in paste, paste in hole, etc.) on a connector using WS-609 solder paste (halide free, water-washable). I'm concerned about entrapped flux in the barrel of the solder joints. If there were to be e

Cuppla questions for ya ... Where are the shorts [above the mask or between the mask and the laminate]? On the board, what material is between the copper traces and the mask? What type of solder mask(s) used by your suppliers? What are they using

This processes has the potential to cause barrel cracking and pad lifting, because the heating is very hot [troop crank-up the volume on their iron when they see thick boards] for a relatively small area on one side of the board. What do we suggest

SN100 was designed for selective soldering and producing low levels of voiding. But thin barrel plating is a common cause of voids in wave and selective soldered connections, as you say. As a result, you checked the plating thickness and it was accep

Those temp stickers are useless unless you can stick them into the copper barrel. They can only determine "skin" temperature which has nothing to do with what is happening in the barrels. Your solder is filling the barrel then going cold. I'll gua

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

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
