SN100 was designed for selective soldering and producing low levels of voiding. But thin barrel plating is a common cause of voids in wave and selective soldered connections, as you say. As a result, you checked the plating thickness and it was accep

HOW THICK IS THE BOARD? IS THERE A LOT OF COPPER IN THE BOARD? DOES YOUR CUSTOMERS PROVIDE HEAT RELIEF IN THE BOARDS BARREL DESIGN THERE NEEDS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LEADFREE SOLDER TO FLOW, DID YOU CHECK YOUR PIN(LEAD)TO HOLE (BARREL) RATIO? N

Here's the bet. I'll bet the size [ie, length, width, thickness, etc] of the boards remain the same. It's the size of the copper features on the board that is changing. Right? Right?

You need to have 1 thou of copper. If don't moisture absorbed by the board will out-gas through the plating.

Is 1 thou of copper refer to 1 mil or 1 mm.?In Asia,we do not really use this unit.Please advise.

Would increasing the thickness to compensate be a reasonable soulluction? This tarnishing is happening after the first time heat is applied. Could it be a factor of too long in ramp and/or soak?

Chrys you're fine. On scoring: * Be sure spec material remaining, not what is removed. * Be sure that the v-grooves are perpendicular to each other, not off set. * Typ spec for for .062 thick boards FR-4 0.018-0.024 MC-3 0.030-0.040 * HADCO recomm

You know, many SMD components have copper alloy leads and then a copper (or Ni) barrier on them. On the copper (or Ni) barrier there is the finish. Usually the finish is made of Sn\Pb (tin-lead), and if I solder with a Sn\Pb solder paste it's all rig
