"I just need better reasons than it [...] increases defect probability." If that's not enough, you have bigger problems. Have you seen any rework/repair that was generated by this handling gem? Does your company profess to build to IPC specificati

Hi, We are electrodepositing Au(0.25 to 0.5 microns) on Cu & using solder ball bonding process via laser.We are getting lots of voids within the solder (not kirkendall voids). Can anyone shed some light on this problem.We are not using any flux.Pre

Well so much for being too hot! Try kicking your max temp up to 220, I wouldn't extend the duration however. I would almost start to think that this QFP has a pb free finish. Let us know what happens Russ

The toes of leaded devices are problematic in fillet formation. A lot of the time they have the copper from the lead exposed so it becomes oxidized and won't readily take solder. Normally this is of no concern if the heel and side fillets are forme

We've experienced this issue with SN100. A couple of things we've tried, all with varying levels of success: 1. Longer pre-heats. We use SN100 in a solder pot, and pre-heat the boards on our wave machine. This did have a positive effect, but I ne

Q1: What is "enough surface free energy"? A1: Look here for background: http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1575 Q2: How do I determine surface free energy? A2: We look at it a relative term. For instance, a semi matte finish on solder mask

We are having an issue with a PCB supplier. Their Tin HASL layer seems to be the problem. We have triedworking with them to correct their process. What seems to have helped is lowering their temperature of the Tin dip from 540 F to 510 F.We still ha

In HASL pcb coating you need to fully coat the pads with solder and then blow off any excess solder to leave a nice coating on each pad. Generally pcb manufacturers try to give you a flat pcb pad to make your solder paste printing more consistent. To
