Hello, I believe that the area's of concern are primarily component related. Some component are rated for a temp (usually 260 degrees max) for some length of time. Tant Caps come to mind as being heat sensitive. The other concern would be the inerme

Bare inconel is NOT ment to take solder, because * Nickel develops a tenacious oxide layer that is very difficult to remove since the nature of the oxide is very dense, coherent, etc. * Chromium is difficult to solder. * Iron is difficult to solder.

We're not sure what your customer is talking about either. Gold and tin form an intermetallic compound [IMC] that can cause poor solder connections. To minimize the potential of a problem, keep gold to less than 3 percent of the metal. [Search the

Problem 1: Solder shortage * Stencil aperatures [except the heat slug] should be 1:1 with the board. * Stencil should be 5 thou thick laser cut. * Board should be 1:1 with the component * Print should look good. Problem #2: Bad connection between p

Hi, No because we don't have the ability to do that, and what is the problem with it? Can you describe what happens and how it's different to soldering a high temp BGA solder ball. My guess is if the solder ball does not melt, then there should be n

It should be the other way around. A Pb BGA ball will fully melt in a Pb free process, but a Pb free BGA ball will not fully melt in a Pb process, which means the Pb from the paste on the board will not fully diffuse through the ball. This leads to

I don't believe I have ever seen a non-destructive test for "Black Pad" that I could take back to a Fab house and collect monetary losses with... But if this test method actually does hold merit then collect away. I would like to know how this metho

Suggestions are: * Procure solderable finishes that have sufficient thickness to avoid intermetallic problems and use storage conditions that do not promote oxide growth problems. * Bagging/sealing boards has been shown to extend storage durations i

Hi folks. If the solder is on the BGA but is not soldered at all on the pads, then you can discard BGA solder issues, by the other hand; you might be experiencing wicking due to heat is being absorbed on component so the balls on BGA are hotter than

Folks, what is the industry consensus? Which is the more popular lead-free, flat finish these days? Here's what I know from my experience. IAg: 1. Quality of finish is dependent on supplier 2. Can NOT be reworked. It is known that reworking t
