Silicon contamination in solder joint

Electronics Forum | Wed May 28 11:56:18 EDT 2003 | blnorman

Yes we are using "silicones", but to find this contaminant we were looking for "silicon" the element by SEM/EDS. We use Dow materials and my contact there is checking to see if they have any info.

Waves soldering: not enough solder remaining on pads

Electronics Forum | Tue Aug 01 18:28:47 EDT 2017 | zsoden

Thanks for the suggestions. 1. By this are you referring to the flux specifications or the actual profile of the machine? 2. Yes, the entire machine, the solder pot and the wave nozzles have all been levelled. The better joints on one side are perp

Is solder purity affect solder joint reliability?

Q1. Do we really need to follow the IPC J-STD-001 Solder purity? A1. Yes, you should control impurities in solder. Further information: * "Allowable concentration of contaminating elements in solder: impurities are harmless unless their level goes to

fillets on fine pitch parts/poor wetting

Electronics Forum | Wed Nov 06 19:03:33 EST 2002 | broncos

If you are certain that reflow process is good, I would suggest starting checking the following: 1. Check to see if leads / pads are contaminated or oxidized. However, this usually results poor solder quality throughout the board. 2. Check the amou
