We are facing low quality due to soldering opens with coilcraft inductors 0402CS-2N7XGLW. The termination used is(suffix L =RoHS compliant silver-palladium-platinum-glass frit. Did anyone had this problem in the past? Can we do better using T = RoH

Thanks for your promt reply It was very usefull Eyal

We've seen the exact same problem. The solder joints had negative wetting angles and x-sections show that the PdAg termination dissolved into the solder. We no longer allow PdAg terminations.

Thanks Pete yes we usu ROHS solder paste in our process. I agree that this termination is more suitable for adhsive bonding rather than soldering. We'll try changing the termination type as you recommended. Eyal G

We have experienced the same problem with Pd/AG and P/Ag terminations on precision resistive parts. The problem is dissolution of the termination metallisation into the bulk solder. This is exacerbated by the higher thermal profiles required for RoHS

We have been using Coilcraft 1008CS inductors for several years. We have had problems with them turning green when we use lead-free solder paste. We have tried several solder pastes (water soluble and no-clean)from different manufacturers, but the

Thanks Rob. We've been in contact with Coilcraft, but haven't gotten anywhere, yet. We'll check out the other coils. We started using Coilcraft because of their high Q.

Ask the distributor (or coilcraft) what the termination material is & if they do alternative ones. These maybe from old stock. If you get no joy have a look at Epcos & Murata who both have wide ranges of surface mount inductors.

No problem. If you get no joy you're going to have to change the footprint to a 1206 or 1210. Murata have a range of high Q value inductors (50-60) & from memory Toko used to be pretty hot too. The terminations on the coilcraft part are listed a

Anyone placing micro,mini,midi spring inductors (as can be seen on http://www.coilcraft.com) with an FV7100? I can get the little suckers to "test" all day long, but soon as I go into production mode the vision system rejects around 20%. I've tried c
