Our customer is asking for a solder ball dispersion test on our string solder for rework. The do not provide a test spec, only the attached diagram? has anyone seen this before? It looks like just pushing the solder against the iron and counting th

You are correct. So, the unit amount of gold [based on IG plating thickness, size of the pad, etc.] dissolves in the solder very quickly. When the solder is liquid for: * A long time, the gold disperses more. * A short time, the gold concentrates a

We hare having an issue with our chip shooters misplacing or not placing parts all together. We have traced it back to our adhesive machine. We are using both single and double dot nozzles. I feel that the biggest problem is excessive amounts of g

Our first choice in determining the composition of metals would be to use Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) / Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis.

I wonder if yor customer means wrong "flux"? Your not solderng to gold. Your soldering to Nickle. The gold is disolved and dispersed. Your joint strength comes from the SnNi intermetalic.

Hi, Can somebody tell if for melf components the x and z sizes are the same? Normally they are, but the machine's vision system sees only 60-70% of the x size due to light dispersion. The Z dimension has to be the one measured with a vernier caliper?

You can determine empirically what will work. * Use ion chromatography [IPC-TM-650 2.3.28] to evaluate the residues and determine if the residues must be removed. * Use energy dispersive spectroscopy for the elemental analysis or chemical characteriz

We agree. As Bill says, given that you seem to have bubbles in a restricted area and not broadly dispersed across your board, this seems to indicate an interaction between process materials, rather than a cure or thickness issue.

Thanks for your response, I changed the attachment to a PDF. It will be easy enough to set up if we need to do this. I was hoping the test was a little more formal and documented but quick and dirty evaluation have their place as well.

First thing to check is that you have a good gasket between the PCB and the stencil (if not check that the tactile is free of paste at the base of it and calibrate the tactile. I am assuming it is not a head mounted tactile) Also check that the wipe
