SMTneters, The end of May finds several recent publications from leading publishers on my desk. I am all too happy to share these books with our loyal SMTneters in the hopes that they will provide us with a timely review of the new release. For ma

I do not know which specific flux you are using, but here are some general guidelines. If your wave soldering machine uses a foam fluxer, then there are foaming agents in the flux. Under �normal� conditions, the volatiles (including the foaming age

| | My company is looking for higher density for card layout. One suggestion has been locating active components packaged in SOT's and SOIC's on the B-side of the card. This in turn will require wave soldering of the above mentioned components. When

What kind of problems/defects/process indicators are you having? It is likely that you will have to bite the bullet and get a thermal profiling mole to prove that your selected profiles are subjecting parts to the correct tempertures per part specs.

Graham: I agree. Very thorny. What is clean?? And how is that controlled?? Back 25 or so years ago, soldering was done with high solids rosin fluxes. The issue with cleanliness was ionic contamination. The US military and others set a fairly a

With power components coming in smaller and smaller surface mount packages it is very important to come up with a coherent approach to mitigating the thermal dissipation requirements of these components in a PCB design. While the development of an ex

| I'm very familiar with the great board space savings of BGA and all the "claims to fame." However, can someone out there tell me if any concern exist in the inspection realm. Additionally, solder cracking, CTE/TCE mismatches, no leads for stress re

You cannot determine foil thickness from its weight per area, because of the significant variation in the density of electrodeposited [ED] copper. But people don't care. They do it regardless. (oz/ft2)||(mils)||(mm) 1/2||0.7||17.8 1||1.4||35.6 2||2

We have been experiencing intermittent problems with the solder masking bubbling up from the bottom side of the board, after wave soldering. Our board fabricator claims that none of his other customers are experiencing this problem, and that it is pr
