Hi Could you specify what you mean by fracturing component legs?

Hi We are experiencing different failure modes between leaded and lead free through hole assemblies. The boards are PTH. In the case of lead free boards we are seeing fracturing of the component legs much earlier than we do with leaded assemblies. N

Yes of course. The leg of the component breaks between the top of the solder joint and the component body. We can induce the same failure mode with lead free joints but usually after 10x longer on vibration.

The wording in your second post re: lead vs. lead free behavior seems to contradict your first post, but I'll assume you mean that the lead free boards fail sooner during vib. testing. My question is, if this is the case, are the parts that are fai

Apoligies Steve if I did not explain myself clearly. We have made the same design using the same RoHs compliant components (which I am assured by the suppliers are process temperature capable) with both lead and lead free solder. Without wishing to

I concern about the Through Hole soldering as well. Currently, we have encountered some problems of Multilayer from Through Hole soldering. The root-cause is probably related to PCB Finish, machine setting, Thermal relief Pad or hole and something e

Our preference has been ENIG. We find that we achieve higher quality (visually) soldering for through hole and surface mount parts, with less handling issues than when we use white-tin, or immersion tin. We are about to do a test on some boards tha

I am interested in RoHS "through-hole soldering": We have a problem with solder wetting and fillet during selective and wave soldering, with a Ni/Au PCBA!! Different fluxes has been tested, but this is really a big issue. Now; there is only a few fl

You can purchase pad repair kits at some "radio shack" type stores or you can order them from some such as Circuit repair corp. If you know where the signal traces go from the individual connector pins I woul;d recommend just adding a wire frm the p

You can continue repair and rework with tin/lead solder until 7/06. However!!! Any product still on the shelves overseas after 7/06 will be returned to the USA. Thought? Maybe start repairing with SAC305 now? Also SAC is Tin, Silver and Copper. No Ni
