Hello. I have a problem with reflow soldering of PCBs with golden pads. Peste explodes in the oven. I don't know in witch phase of process (in what point of profile) it happens. It's the reason of problems with golden pads - it's dirty when going out

We understand that you are getting solder on your gold fingers. If this is correct, search the SMTnet Archives, while you're waiting for others to respond. For instance: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=5127

Every critter out there with large incisors adapted for gnawing and nibbling has a different theory of solder ball formation. [My theory: It�s punishment for using NC fluxes. Stand and deliver. My solder balls end-up in the gross filter connected

Just curious what effect pinholes and solder voids can have on solder joints that have high current passing thru them. Also could moisture from steam sterilization (autoclaving) get inside a said solder joint and then outgas during high current, and/

Hi, It was funny. The sight of 3 men standing around the microwave daring each other to push the start button, and then freaking out when the whole thing looked as though it was going to explode was funny. I guess you have to try these things! Tho

Hi, Need some advice on how to eliminate or reduce the solder on finger that we are having right now. So far what we understand is that 90% of the problem is due to the reflow process where solder traps in vias causing explosion when subjecte

Rock can contain a little bit of moisture. Bake the rocks for a long time before placing them in solder so they don't explode. The glass marbles may be the safest idea. Or start heating the tank with the solid mass already in there. Did I just write

Dave, We're reworking with flux and solder. We're observing "exploding" joints, as well...as though something is trapped in the joints (either excess flux not burning off during solder, or residual moisture). As mentioned above, I spoke with the f
