Oh, sure, on fine-pitch parts you need a microscope or at least a good magnifier. But, OK, you have some kind of contamination. Solder is one thing, but where are these stainless, aluminum and copper particles coming from? Stainless makes me think

I'm new to the website so if I don't sound like I know what I'm talking about I probably don't. But I am having a great problem at work with conductive contamination that bridges two leads and shorts out the IC, causint costly repair. I have been t

If you think the problem is occurring in the box and it is wide spread, consider replacing your solder paste with your paste supplier. There are paste formulations aimed at the solder balling issue that some LF pastes create. On tuning your reflow r

Thanks for your answer, contamination in form of fine dust particles. I don't know why but i need to clean this rings one per shift. I will post some pictures tonight. This contamination is affecting the solder wave on the nozles, when i clean the ri

Good Afternoon..... This message is for the "packaging" types in our industry. I am seeking the source of a PIND Tester (Particle Impact Noise Detector). It is used to detect whether loose bodies or contaminants may be present in a hybrid package

I had a similar problem a few years ago when glue printing. Our production environment wasn't to clean room standards and there was a bit of air born contamination floating around which would gather on the PCB surface (also our rough board edges wou

Hi, We are manufacturing a small PCB with large areas of gold plating. We experience from time to time what appear to be solder splashes on the gold areas. I do not believe the contamination to be from "outgassing" due to the distance from the dep
