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

We are soldering wire 26AWG to jack socket. However after went through washing, baking, coating, curing processes the wire breaks (at joining point with jack socket) during wire dressing. We have tried to increase and decrease the solder amount but r

Q: Is anyone aware of any solderability issues that may exist when soldering beryllium copper parts (in this case spring contacts) to a PCB using standard Pb63/Sn37 solder paste/wire?

I agree with AFlex. Don't tin stranded wire that's assembled into a screw terminal block. I believe the reasoning has to do with avoiding stress on the wire metal caused by different expansion rates of the solder and the wire. BR davef

Should stranded copper wire (20 gauge 19 strand) be tinned prior to insertion into screw connector? One of our customers "suggests" tinned, but past experience tells us no.

Even for me its a No. Its quiet strange why some preferred tinned ones.

we are encountering a problem on our production. after dipping a copper wire AWG#30 to a leadfree solder the wire becom thinner and easily to break. does the leadfree soler has the capability to weaken the wire (lessen the diameter)after dipping to l

how to solder manganin 0.05mm manganin wire to a copper plate

Hello Arnold, Yes, by definition of joint formation, copper will dissolve in lead free solder in order to form the connecting intermetallic layer. There is a distinct difference in the copper dissolution rates of the major alloys being considered wi
