I have a product using high temperature solder to connect terminal pins to a PCB. The board is single sided copper, no plaiting. The solder is 95% tin 5 % silver. The flux is low activity rosin. The product is a subassembly. When the product is

I think OA flux left on the pot would quickly looses its activity and become part of the dross waste stream, and smoke stream for that matter. Also, if your wave is setup properly your selective pallets will scour (push) the top of the lambda wav

Is this a sample board that you ran without components? If so, I'd get it back to your board house, and ask them to explain to you what's happening. We never did get to a satisfactory root cause on our issue (at least, satisfactory to me). It seem

| Dear John/Earl | | Thanks for your clarifications. To me also the problem does not seem to be linked with the PCB. The Pre heater temp. is set at | 450 degree C. We are using Alpha Aq. cleanable flux. Can you elaborate on the Desired profilin

Hi, We had a similar issue to this. When we examined the boards at x-ray there were no apparent defects, We sent the boards for Dye and pry testing and we found that there were crack or gaps between the paste on the PCB and the BGA ball. basically th

This may be completely normal, but I'm not used to seeing this with our old SnPb. I'm setting up reflow profiles for a SAC305 alloy, and it seems that on some of our larger pads, the flux seems to pool in the center. Is this perhaps a sign that I'm

Hi Russ, I have a similar situation. I have been told that this can be caused by the nickel, over which the gold is plated, can result in suspect joints, embrittlement etc. Some joints can even be weak and broken without much force on some of my boa

Hi Everyone What lubricants do your maintenance people use for the chains in your Reflow ovens? The manuals for our ovens have one recommendation - but I am always open to other people�s experiences and recommendations. Another option may be easie
