Jack: You should use your components promptly. Don't store 'em, only bad things will happen to them. 1 You should store all your components, not just your SMD reeled components, so they are not damaged or their solderability decreased. Check the

Armin Habba could be considering a situation where: after they convert to no-lead they receive components with lead-bearing solderability protection from their component supplier. This could happen when: * Supplier has not converted to no-lead. * O

Hi. I know that this is one of the mos common threads here, I have been doing some research, but i didn't find any similar. The main issue is that I have seen tombstoning since two weeks ago, it is more characteristic on 0603 resistors (Stackpole e

Well it looks like you answered you own question. Why would you send the component out for cross section. Why wouldn't you try a different manufacture, assuming you have already used different date codes on this supplier. Is your company contract man

Hello Craig Are code dates other than these two coming apart or do they stay together? If other dates stay together you should get together with RFM. Did the process work before and and the defects just start happening? These are pictured on the RFM

Can anyone please help me out. I am having solderability issues on a 208 pin QFP. I believe that it may be due to the age of the component. The date code states week 50 of 2003 which is not all that far off 5 years. The component was vacuum sealed at

What are other testing/process step that we should do if we where to use the old date code QFPs other than solderability and baking ? What is the plating composition normally %? lead, % tin etc. I have my policy not to accept the more than 12 mont

Chris, Two points of perspective are: 1 Solderability: The shelf life of components has elapsed when they are no longer solderable. There's tons of variables that affect this, but keys are: * Intermetalics grow as a function of temperature. * Th

Awww, don beso tuff on ursef!!! It sounds like you�re thinking correctly with what you�ve done, but it�s possible that the test you ran did not represent your actual production environment as well as you would have liked. So, you just need to "cran

Dear Dave, We cant change the solder paste. Its a for defense and aerospace projects. Customer won't agree on it . We have major issue in ROL0 Flux classified solder paste. cannot go for aggressive flux chemistry. So need a good method to hold th
