Materials added to solder can change its appearance. For instance: * Gold in tin/lead solder is dull / grainy * Palladium in tin/lead solder is dull / grainy We do NOT advocate using visual appearance to define the appearance of a good and a bad so

How did you come to the conclusion that you are having a cold joint problem. Just by appearance ? As Dave stated if you have any of the metals that he listed in the joints they will appear to be dull and grainy sometimes. But... Dave, I will have t

Hi, There are QFN 32,40,48 pins with middle pad. Body size are 7x7 and pitch 0.5mm. I means as compared to 2 sided package, QFN are easily damaged by external mechanical / thermal force. Phenomenon observed are mold cap open which further caused wire

Hi, Thanks for the info. You mentioned about TQFP, how about QFN, which is leadless and one sided package compared to TQFP ? Actually, we are component manufacturer. Recently we have multiple customer come back with issue of electrical failure on par

I've been using Xilinx TQFP's in the 44 and 144 lead sizes with no trouble. I don't even bake them before reflow and have never had any problem. The Xilinx parts are certainly NOT sensitive, I could not break one with my bare hands if I tried (I ha

Desoldering often applies a LOT more heat and thermal stress to the part, and maybe mechanical forces while everything is hot, to get the part free of the board. So, a lot of damage might be done there, making post-mortem harder. Without the leads,
