Where do I find data which shows how much dwell time is excessive in a solder fountain when install through hole connectors into a polyimide board.

A good guideline is keep it similar to your wave solder process, for example 2-3 sec. This assumes you're preheating the assembly. While polyimide boards are fairly robust at some point you will begin to see copper dissolution - the solder side pad

We're not sure that such data is available. What guidelines does your flux supplier provide in soldering with this process?

Excessive Time above Liquidus will cause a solder joint to become extremely brittle. Any shock or stress to the joint can lead to a failure.

hello, BGA was a little excessively reflowed with dwell time(above 183C - solder paste = 63/37) over 2 min, peak temp is 218C. I inspected the BGA under X-ray and there is a little voids but within the acceptable range, i then used the Ersascope to c

Some short happens between the balls of CPU socket in my site.we decrease the reflow time from about 90sec to 50 sec and decreased the fail rate of short.but x-ray shows balls from part of the Ball array deformed....we can't further decrease the time

I might suggest that you check with your solder paste manufacturer to see what is recommended for time over reflow. Typically, I think most are between 60 and 90 seconds over 183. Also, consider the rate of cooling. The faster you cool the solder, th

A couple of other potential issues are moisture/reflow related issues. This can include internal delaminations inside the component, potentially breaking or lifting the wirebonds. It may also induce warpage where the corners of the BGA will curl up.

Hi Sal, taking the dwell time as parameter to control seems to me unessary. Dwell time is a function of other settings that can be controlled (adjusted) more easily (conveyor speed, wavehight-settings, angle). Although dwell time is essential it�s I

5 Steps to Eliminate Bridges: 1. Establish (wave) Parallelism First and foremost, you must establish board-to-wave parallelism. This is the prerequisite to any wave solder process control. For an understanding of the power of this approach go to ht
