SMT Connector, Placement Issues

Electronics Forum | Fri Oct 03 10:24:17 EDT 2008 | chineechooze

I have a problem with placement repeatability and accuracy on this Samtec connector. The customer wants to use a "nubbed connector" which has to be placed in the corresponding PCB holes. When the nubs miss the holes, the part becomes "lifted." SEE

Blow Holes voids in solder fillet on caps

Here's a paper that may help http://www.ipcoutlook.org/pdf/assembly_challenges_bottom_terminated_ipc.pdf Temperature Impact * Profile didn’t have a significant impact on voiding. * Voids slightly increased with higher temperature. Reflow Atmosp

Wave solder flow over back plate

Electronics Forum | Thu Feb 21 10:11:36 EST 2013 | patrickbruneel

The backflow in the wave started to become very important with the development of no-clean/no residue fluxes. These fluxes don’t have (or at least shouldn’t have) rosin, resin or other vehicles in the formulation which encapsulate surface oxides from

Selective Solder Pot Leaded - Next Steps?

Electronics Forum | Thu Apr 21 15:28:14 EDT 2016 | curiousman

My company bought a used EBSO SPA 400-F selective solder machine at an auction. At the time we bought it we were not sure what kind of solder it was. So we had the solder sent in and analyzed, and it was leaded instead of lead-free. What options do I
