Dear all, As far as I know hot tear or shrink hole defect only happen at plated though hole soldering, especially for those lead free wave process. Recently, a laboratory engineer had done cross section on some of the SMT BGA ball and IC lead solde

Hot tear occurs at the surface of the solder connection. The surface will look like someone tore the surface apart. So, it is a crack or fracture formed prior to metal solidification.

We agree that the squigglie part of the section of the BGA ball looks like something other than 'hot tear.' We'd guess that it is an inclusion, but it could be a sectioning defect, as you say. We agree that the majority of occurances of hot tear are

Hi all, I think Hot Tear or Shrink Hole defect is common in LEAD FREE wave soldering, especially those solder is from SAC type. As far as I know, it is related to cooling rate. Is there anyone know how to solve or reduce this defect at wave solder

Do you mean "how to solve or reduce this defect at wave soldering process" while continuing to use-up my SACX solder? If so, try: * Smaller solder volumes lower shrinkage hole / hot tears [Higher hole diameter versus pin diameter helps in reducing v

Leave us alone, olive oil isn't the same as crude! Defect of the month is... hot tear. http://www.smartgroup.org/pdf/Defect01.pdf

IPC-A-610D Section 5, shows a variety of photographs of: * Good lead-free solder connections * Lead-free soldering anomalies Hot Tear / Shrink Hole is one such anomaly. This shrinkage effect appears primarily on wave-soldered joints, but can also

The problem is lead enrichment regions forming in the hottest part of the joint. The lead pool is the weakest part of the (SMT) joint. In TH interconnects hot tear or pad lift can result. I have recently seen this first hand.

We use SAC305 and top side particular joint temp. is 110 deg C, and the terminal finish for that particular lead is pure tin. It look like hot tearing at the primary side of PTH.
