Dear Sir. Recently we had a problem in our production. We had pcbs with no RoHs (with solder Pb in pads) but we used paste Lead Free. I want to know if we will have problems in this solders in the future, because (perhaps)the solder will be broken, o

Sorry this is such a long thread but I would like as much input as possible to everything I ramble on about... :) ------------------------------------------------------ We are now seeing more and more RoHS parts showing up in our SMT inventory and

From what I have seen some component terminal finished have a problem due to storage also. I have seen pure nickel finished turn black. I have seen silver barring finished have problems too. It all depends on how you chose your process, PCB plating,

Oh I agree with you 100%. I have been lucky and have not had to go RoHS...... yet. I can imagine all the hidden pitfalls and problems that could occur. But I guess that's were solid engineering pays off. Some people call it "knob twisting" but mo

I concern about the Through Hole soldering as well. Currently, we have encountered some problems of Multilayer from Through Hole soldering. The root-cause is probably related to PCB Finish, machine setting, Thermal relief Pad or hole and something e

Hi all, We produced a RoHS (lead-free) prototype order recently, and there was some components that we needed to replace on a couple of PCBA's. We found it very hard to do this even with the new solder iron. The components was just small RoHS SOIC's

Hi, we're currently running a design with a fairly simple BGA. The problem we're running into is poor solderability (cold looking joints, high voiding in the BGA). All of this on a know good oven, with a known good thermal profile. I'm guessing it

Dont't bother to answer real idiots! I can relate to a similar problem. We also use SN100C alloy and the solder pot get(got?) contaminated with the alloys from the SAC305! How can this be? Strange thing happens during the soldering process, and it o

Hi All, We evaluated and approved KESTER R520A for our default RoHS solder paste a couple years back. It's time to re-evaluate to see if this material is still the best choice. Please let me know your opinion on the solder paste you are using, and

At my last employer, we ran a number of tests to make a "Hybrid" profile work (same profile Joe lists) . It worked great for everything but BGAs. The problem (6 months ago) was using parts not rated for lead free reflow temps. As the market fills wit
