You better be careful how you plug vias at screenprint - we currently have a customer that wants vias plugged, so we had a 2% aperature reduction so we would not have to much paste, I believe it should have been reduced more because some of the solde

90% of the battle with thermal profiling is your thermocouple attachment. That is Process Engineering 101. It's just like painting your house. The masking and prep work will make or break the end result. KIC did a DoE on which thermocouple attach

I assume that these parts are falling off during second-side reflow? The easy solution, of course, is to not build high-mass components on first-side reflow. If this isn't practical, however, you can try using epoxy/glue under the component. We'

Hello Diego, are the components missing on the first side or the second side. Like Mr. Evtimov said, you can check before the oven the pcbs's visually and see what happens after the oven. In this way you can see if it is the oven for sure. Then there

There is a formula that determines whether a component will fall off during a 2nd reflow. It takes into account the grams (weight) of the component and the total surface area of the solder joints. I don't know this off the top of my head, but it's

Hi Russ! An "R" QFP is what Altera calls their Plastic Quad Flatpacks that have a heatsink in the top...they actually call them Power Quad Flatpacks. I'm familiar with the formula, of how one can figure out if there's enough surface tension for a p

The pads in the datasheet should suffice. The TDK part really isn't all that big but its reflow profile indicates it is not exactly the most tolerant device with regards to heat. 245C for 5s is not a lot, I would check very carefully that your profil

Here is some further information on SDSRS process, but please purchase a copy of the report from t he SMTA as all the money goes to charity. In the UK the SMART Group raised over �3000 for the homeless. SMTA have been raising a lot of money for the G

To do a profile at most companies, if you don't have a scrap board handy, you'll use the already-soldered board that's already been through ONE reflow cycle. You spend time attaching T/C's with the aluminum tape - after all, the prep-work is half th

What is the difference of the components that fall and the ones that don't fall?
