Has anybody heard about solder wires for rework with a V-notch in order to avoid solder balls which might be caused by shooting flux when getting hot. The notch is as deep to reach the core so that the flux can expand easily. I can imagine the effect

I have lots of experience with thermosonic gold ball bonding. You can read the literature and you will probably find some papers that say you can do it. I have never been able to do it. We gold ball bond all day long with little problems at all bu

Take a solder iron with some wire solder and attempt to tin the leads of the component. Look under magnifier or microscope. Did they wet? If not try fluxing them with liquid flux and then soldering again. Did they wet? If they did not then you may wa

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

Hi Gani, looking at the HASL icture and the poor wetting of the solder over the pads I would imagine that the HASL coating is very thin on the pads and in actual fact isn't 'solder' but is tin /copper intemetallic and this has poor solderability. It

I have never used Manganin wire. I understand it is difficult to solder. Should we use a move active flux. It will be a .25mm, PTFE insulated manganin wire spliced to thermistor wires. Thanks coeps

try Almit Sn62 HM1 RMA V14L ....its the best no clean lead paste for wetting...I sell it and it has solved wetting problems many times when users have used other pastes

You'll want to chop your solder into "bite sized" pieces for your pot, by the way. A bolt cutter or a band saw are a couple of ways to do it without ruining other precision tools. It's up to you for the alloy you use, but there are several (some

Just talked to my component engineer. We use the B parts also, and apparently the B suffix indicates compatibility with wave or reflow applications, X is for reflow only. Since we only reflow these parts, sounds like that might be the best route fo

Hello Esteemed Panel, I have a question...what is the most cost effective way to get power to a PCB? By this I mean connecting power and ground without a connector but something more reliable than soldering a wire directly to the PCB. Whatever solut
