Any thoughts on this will be appreciated, thanks in advance for reviewing. This assembly has been processed in our facility by going through a press operation (~ 1731 lbs), then into wave solder. Note the discoloration around the pemnut. The discol

I have already told you that is not possible solve this problem by e-mail, without perform a detailed failure analysis. Also I have told you to procede by exclusion. Are you sure, by tests, regarding the PCB quality ? Are you sure regarding the solde

Probably you can weld the spot that is leaking as a temporary fix.As for a long term solution, I would probably go with a lead free retrofit kit.It is basically a titanium insert that you place into your existing pot and it is cheaper then buying a n

Hi All, I have few questions about creeping corrosion that potentially happen on lead free immersion silver PCB as below: 1) What test that we can conducted to verify whether the failure we seen is due to creeping corrosion? 2) I heard that lead fr

Those parts indicated with "S" are already serviced e.g. adjusted by Siemens. Siemens customers trade in used, defective parts or parts not needed by customer and Siemens refurbish them. So whenever Siemens treat a spare part that was once in the mar

Hi Julie, My opinion is that the top board would not pass IPC, solder mask encroachment on pads. Second board is what we call Orange peel,this can be caused two way's. 1) the solder mask was not tack dried enough prior to imaging which caused artwo

Sounds like your contract assembler has some serious issues. You should not be getting defects anywhere neer that amount. If you do decide to go that route again find one with a good AOI machine at a minimum and you should also supply them with a fun

Hi, I fully agree with isd.jww. The difference in the solder joint appearance of the 2 joints highlighted could be down to a few reasons...reflow profile (I know you've checked, but have you stuck a thermocouple on this actual joint ? ), contaminatio

Yes, the vias under the BGAs are the only ones capped. I tend to agree with you that the leaching should affect the bottom more than the top and that was actually the case with the two previous shops that had this problem. We suspected with those s

Good afternoon all, I have been trying to find a solution to a defect I just noticed. After stencil printing and smt part placement on the secondary side of my boards, I run them through a wave soldering system. All my components got soldered perfe
