Q: Could any of you guys tell me what exactly is this greenish thing ? A: No, but is not copper oxide. Copper oxide is brown, the color of a penny [here in the US] or an untreated copper laminated trace on a board. Many copper salts are greenish in

I faced problem over connecter's pin that were hot air soldered. This connector has 168 pins ( similar to the straddle connector ). The process is to apply the flux onto the connector's J-leads, and the hot air pencil were then ran thru' the leads to

Please give us additional background on your board, solder, process, etc. If you are talking about black pad in ENIG solderability preservative, check the fine SMTnet archives to get started.

Using no-clean flux will make the boards very difficult to clean. If you can switch to water soluble flux, your life will be much easier. The "icicles" lead me to think that the board isn't getting hot enough in the pre-heat cycle, and/or there isn

As an OEM repiar tech I would run into "Black Pad" on occasion, though mostly on surface mount pads. The only way I could remove the oxidation was to apply water soluble flux and add solder, then wick away the excess. This left me with a suitable s

From the pic, it looks like you have a bad board; ENIG process issue. It used to be called black pad for SMT but I'm sure it's the same condition for T/H. Any good electronic lab should be able to id the black stuff. I would also send raw boards bac

As my fellow members are saying this is a bad mfg process, you need to talk to your supplier to see if theres something contaminating the ENIG plating, this is a very critical issue you must act on it before some problems arise in the field where can

We all know the Lead Free process is trend, so we trial run it, now it is only my comment that we have a good achievement after several tries,we have taken serveral photos about Lead Free process with ErsaScope. 1.The surface of the solder joint are
