Hi all, We're starting up tests for pin-to-paste and, well, things could be better. We're testing different pastes and we're testing different apertures rules and, well, we're still testing. It's coming close and we're getting pretty good joint no

Hi You already received good answers. A thing to remember is the components and the PCB. How high you go above 63/37's 183C should be limited to create a good solder joint. Too long creates problems since the components and the PCB start to be he

Ersa Versaflow has a nozzle we use for soldering 70 pin connectors, with smt parts 3mm from the leads. As far as soldering through hole (without the tight SMT parts)It's reliable, easy to program and very good quality joints. Your advantages are spee

If your through holes are overlarge or the anular rings too small, the surface tension of the wave may exceed that of the joint. I would look at the design. You may want to put a strip of kapton tape on the following edge of the panel to test the "

No-clean solder paste is definately a trend for tomorrow. However, there are several points you need to consider before you shift from WS to no-clean: 1. Component quality - No-clean solder paste generally (not essentially) get a lower avtivity than

I need to address the issue for colorful display on solder joints, for whoever researched on this machine, no one can deny it is a smart feature for visual assistance. however, it is still Mono color "gray scale" algorithm. it basically "paint" the i

Good article. Would EDX analysis of the cross-section at the void joints be a good method to determine any plating contamination or solder mask issues?

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

Solder ball attached on solder joint without violation minimum electrical clearance is acceptable. If your process parameter including stencil not changed, suggest you check if solder pasted being pushed out after IC placement, also check if solder j

I agree with Sr. Tech. What does the reflowed joint look like? Is there an actual defect in the solder joints? If its good, I wouldn't worry about the print not being text book perfect.
