Andy, I have been "evaluating" some AOI systems. However, some of these are actually SAOI (Semi Automatic Optical Inspection), which is not a problem if that is what fits your process and budget. You can buy a high end system complete with many cam

We have a pretty challenging board (2-up panel, 15"x20", 48 20mil pitch QFP 100's and 2 25mil QFP128) that gives us LOTS of lead bridging on the 20 mil parts. There is typically very poor wetting on these parts also, and some joints just flat aren't

Hi experts, 1) Do you think a non-operating temperature cycling would do good for screening some marginal BGA joints? 2) If yes, what the exterm temperatures I should go? 3) Any particular profile that is suitable for my need? Thank you!!

Joseph, We have all been using lead free components for some time. Many passive already have a Pb free plating and we have not seen catastophic failures on them. From the information I have seen, I think this should be OK (with the exception of BGA'

Steve, Two good reference books to have are 1) SMT Soldering Handbook by Rudlof Strauss (ISBN 0-7506-3589-4) 2) Soldering In Electronics by R.J. Klein Wassink( ISBN 0-901150-24-x) Regards, Chris

Hey, Preacher, choir here. Unfortunately I didn't get to make the call here (hot boards, new product, same ol' same ol'), but I dam* well am looking for future (print) backup to assist in persuading the bottom line guys that it's cheaper to wait for

The bottom side is going into reflow somewhare near melting point of solder. Reduce bottom side temprature. Get a good mole so ramp and soak tempratures can be checked on bolth sides of the PCB. The object is to keep bottom side parts from approching

What do you mean good morning, my wine bottle is empty and I feel like sleeping. When will some one invite me back to your country to work again ? I need to do some more diving ? The most common cause is simpley the flux on the surface of the joint.

Good morning Bob. Darby from Australia here. We sometimes see an orange peel type finish on our reflow solder joints when viewed under the microscope. Any ideas on what causes this ? Should I worry about it. I use a straight rise profile ( no "platea

Hi, Based on our experience, you can collect X-Ray analysis of solder joints and calculate values of SPC (such as PP/PPK and GR&R). Now, you can find, based on this calculated values, if your production is good or not. Also, this helps you to detect
