Double-check me on this, but I don't believe that A-610 [IPC-A-610] requires side fillets on QFN solder connections, because the sides of most terminations are not plated. Plating on the bottom of the termination is sufficient for a proper solder con

Hi, Recently we have encountered solder wicking on components termination (total of 13 pcs of components on one pcb)with Ag/Pd finishes during lead-free reflow soldering. The pcb is LF HASL surface finish and LF solder paste composition is SAC305.We

Q1:What is the relation between component standoff and drop missing? A1:component standoff will identify either solder paste at SMT side can form the fillet at component terminal or not. Drop/missing component is totally out of the topics since i jus

Q: I thought you said that the parts that weren't wetting in reflow were the parts with epoxy. A: Yes you're correct. Q: The question I have is do they wet in wave solder, and if they do, why does it matter what happens to them in ref

So, there is a crack or gap between: * Solder and component termination. Bingo Correct? Describe: * Coarseness / smoothness of the metal on the termination underneither the crack. * Solder left on the termination. Unfortunately at 45X I can't rea

You should see a coarse silverish / grayish coat on the termination that indicates that it soldered. We have to opinion [don't know] about the strength of solder connection versus the strength of component terminations.

Q: The question I have is do they wet in wave solder, and if they do, why does it matter what happens to them in reflow? A: Yes, but somebody here don't agree with me that the glued part need help from wave to get the good wetting. They are wrong

I snapped a board in half at a cracked solder joint, and the component pulled free of the solder and still has a very thin layer of metal on the termination end. Based on the construction spec.(solder over nickel over palladium), it looks like it
