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

I might need some help to explain what I'm seeing here. The first 3 look like before pictures. They seem ok. The last 3 look like after pictures. It doesn't look like fracturing joints as would be a normal failure for vibration test, more like it rea

Well, it's hard to say what it started out as, a smear, splash or ball cause the solder formation on the finger after reflow is spread out ya know. I looked at an archive for possible causes and one was printer operators with paste on their fingers.

| We had a similar problem. But whenever the solder came from the screen printer the solder would wet to the gold fingers, with the help of residual flux. But the problem is balls, that I assume are not wetted to the gold fingers but instead are jus

J Rose at EMPF says: The introduction of no-clean solder fluxes in electronics manufacturing has given rise to greater levels of solder balling simply because the opportunity to remove them in the wash process does not exist. They are typically cause

80-90% of an average SM component is non wetable (pushing away solder). So if you would use a single smooth lambda wave (massive amount of molten metal) the negative force of the non-wetable part of the component would be so high that the solder wou
