Hi, Can anyone give me the name & address etc. of a lab that will section PCBs and analyze defects? Thanks. Bob

Where can I get information on analyzing the pros and cons of setting up a SMT line. I would also like to find information on what equipment is needed, manpower, cost, lead-times. thanks

We wave solder no MELF. When we analyzed this a couple of years ago, the temperature extremes of the wave affected LT reliability.

Boothroyd and Dewhurst has DFA packages that are pretty good but are more for analyzing one design to an alternate design vs giving good times for your particular site, etc. You can find their site on the WEB.

That's weird. I send samples to be analyze for free to AIM...A few years ago, we used Kester solder bars and they did the analysis for free as well... Thanks, George

Determine the extent of the problem using a witness plate and having it analyzed by an air quality laboratory such as: http://www.state.sd.us/denr/DES/AirQuality/aaconsultants.htm

If your Test tech able to analyze and tell you which exact ball/location is the problem, you may send it for cross section analysis and see how the solder connection behaves. also pls check your ESD implementation.

We've had a customer request that we check the PPM level of oxygen at our wave solder's inerters. I'm looking on the web, and there seems to be a huge variety of these instruments. Can anyone make a recommendation on one that is working for you? T

You should have a a gauge on your wave that you could convert to PPM. Save you a few bucks and headaches.

You might consider an oxygen monitor (or lack of oxygen monitor). A fast response-rate analyzer should be used. There are several types of analyzers on the market and each has different limitations. * If you are looking for a measurement ranging fr
