The solder looks a little grainy for Sn/Pb solder but that might just be the picture quality. There appears to be plenty of solder on the pads, so I'd rule out anything to do with the stencil. One possibility that springs to mind; how long is your

Hi all, We are having a confusing defect with one of our client's boards. It is a large board, 30" x 12". The client supplies the LEDs, they are cheap overseas diodes, and it is not uncommon to have reels with the packaging torn. We have w

Doug, Ooooooooo. You're correct Vinny has to be talking about Rogers teflon boards. Vinny, There are many different types of PTFE based products. Generally speaking, PTFE has a melting point of 620degF and withstands solder reflow and HASL proce

We agree with your statements. 1. Having manually printed board will compromise your print and you don't know how much paste you have on each pad. 2. LEDs falling off that easily might be related to contamination, considering that your profile is not

I am completely new to SMT design and for my next project I plan to use SMT for the first time. Since production volumes of the PCB's will be low, hand soldering is definitely an option, and will be necessary for my prototype PCB assembly. My proble

PC and Erico: Are yinns talking: 1 A component that will not lie flat on the board? 2 A component that will lie flat to the board that you can't get to solder to the pad? 3 A pad that is no longer attached to the board? 4 Something else. Whazit?

BoardHouse, Thanks for the reply. The board supplier did cover the cost of the bare boards. Five years ago I saw a different part pass ET only to fail at final assembly test as well. One engineer called it "acid trap" on the inner layers where the
