Dear all, We have a PCB design mistake that causes exposed copper layers on the edges of breakaway locations. Although we fixed the design, but we already made a lot of boards plus many made before we found the problem. I wonder if any one have some

Dennis, I've seen this before, and in our case we didn't need to seal the edges because there was no concern of shorting or anything in the end product, this is a choice you will have to make, Does your end product have any protrusions or mounting h

Several things for your reference: 1. Starting with data collection: - Have you done a measle chart to illustrate the pattern of the defect? - Have you checked the corelation between shift/time and defects rate? - How about a pareto chart? - Do

Look at: http://thor.inemi.org/webdownload/newsroom/Presentations/09.pdf Page 47 shows both alloys to be similar in reliability although its a little troublesome that the particular defects are not isolated as I feel there is a big difference betwee

The solder looks a little grainy for Sn/Pb solder but that might just be the picture quality. There appears to be plenty of solder on the pads, so I'd rule out anything to do with the stencil. One possibility that springs to mind; how long is your

Hmm, OK thanks for the input guys. Yeah, I'm surprised because our profile seems pretty solid, and it is such an isolated issue. I like the thought of the flux drying out as a potential cause. It was definitely exposed to the air, and while we tried

We also have a few customers that seem to buy the cheapest LEDs available and provide them for the build. We've had complete reels that had obviously been exposed and oxidized. You can try a solder with a more aggressive flux. How long is your pro

Hi,I am a newone here.I wonder if the copper strip can be tin welded on PCB board?How should it be welded?Are there any requirements?Are there any defects?

Details, details: 1) The metal shell is part of the component body. The base metal is austenitic stainless steel (304) that has been plated with 90/10 tin-lead over nickel (semi-bright). 2) The entire part (leads and shell) is elevated by the mass o

I have encountered problems with a 90/10 tin-lead plated SMT component wicking all the solder paste off the pads on the substrate. Worst, the defect occurs randomly - adjacent leads may have 'good' joints, though heel fillets are poor. The solder pa
