problem in solderability

Electronics Forum | Wed Sep 10 12:44:55 EDT 2008 | vladig

Well, it wasn't as easy to figure out the root cause. The last image is below. It shows how the board finish looks like (the trace was under solder mask). AS you can see, the layer of E-Ni is spliting (the board shop admitted the problem afterwards).

Dittos from A Very Frazzled Man. Money spent on a better process is almost always more advantageous than better inspection. As for manual TH insertion, have you considered a semi-automatic machine like the Contact Systems CS-400? While the "E" serie

Hi guys, We have an interesting case we haven't seen before (see the picture below) http://postimage.org/image/lu2f4ae55/ Solder balls form on unpopulated pads after reflow. 1. Reflow profile is fine. 2. Stencil thickness / paste volume is also f

Through Hole Pad contamination

Below are a few photos of an ongoing issue we are having with 1 pwb style. Some of the pads appear to have contamination that appears after the selective solder step. The joints are extremely hard to rework - almost impossible. We had the joints anal

Accounting for Dumped/Lost SMT Parts

Electronics Forum | Wed Nov 26 11:53:53 EST 2014 | philc

Reckon on around 2% of wasted parts for each and every component used, and you won't be too far off. Decide on a value below which you don't care, and for parts that cost more than that, you need to keep a closer eye on them to see if they are indee

Thanks for your input Michael. Basically the boards had been go through from washing and even ionic contamination already. In order to eliminate or detect the flux residues, is there any equipment something like a uv lamp that can detect the flux fro

How Can I generate Pick and place files from Eagle

Electronics Forum | Tue Aug 14 09:45:00 EDT 2018 | stephendo

Are you sure you mean pick and place files? Or does the manufacturer need centroid data to make their own pick and place files? Or they might even be able to use ascii CAD data to generate pick and place files. Look for an export function. Probably
