Hi CW, Regarding orientation, yes, your diagram is right - see the following link for confirmation. http://search.murata.co.jp/Ceramy/image/img/A18X/C2EB3C.PDF Regarding information on bending strength you want to talk to your local Murata office

does copper wire become thinner when it dip to leadfree solder?

I thought it was the tin content that leached the copper so presumed 100Sn would be more aggressive?

arnold: I did not say that Sn100 dissolved copper faster. The graph of dissolution rates [from the link above] shows that Sn100 dissolves copper slower than many of the other solders.

Hello Arnold, Yes, by definition of joint formation, copper will dissolve in lead free solder in order to form the connecting intermetallic layer. There is a distinct difference in the copper dissolution rates of the major alloys being considered wi

BGA pads lifting from PCB

kpm, you are probably right. under magnification those two pads show some exposed copper which means that they were contaminated or had insufficient solder paste before reflow.

On first glance it looks like those particular pads were not attached to any traces. If I had to guess I would say that your rework profile got hot enough to melt away the glue holding the pads to the board and they came away with your part when you

Now that�s a switch. Most are moving or properly have moved in the polar opposite direction. Dano, has someone been drilling your teeth lately? We use water washable flux to: * Remove solder balls. [Or put another way, we don�t have to screw-down

Removing extra gold bleeding from pads

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 10 11:22:48 EST 2013 | pbarton

Looks to me like under etching of the underlying copper and the gold is just plated to all of the exposed copper surface. Is this characteristic the same on all solderable pads? You will not be able to remove this gold.

What do you mean the solder must "survive" 260C? What is your target temperature? Is it dictated by a component, the substrate or the solder alloy? Do you require a eutectic alloy? If not, the selection of alloys grows. (these are from memory...n

Removing soldermask from populated boards (PCBAs)

We had sucessful removed the solder mask by laser machine and got good result and quality without damage the copper layer. You may refer to youtube here by https://youtu.be/cQHaE3_fiqw
