As a basic guide the minimum spec you should look for is 500g you should achieve a force on most chip parts of 800-1000g. Parts are lost on wave soldering due to no material, poor curing, poor surface adhesion and poor handling. Its not the wave sold

We conformally coat over NC solder paste. No problems. We're using a platinum catalyzed addition cure silicone. The only concern with this conformal coating is cure inhibition. You must test the coating over the residues to be sure there is no in

If there's no shear strength standard for solder joint, how will I define my pad width and length then. I have a 8.5 mils width and my component lead width is 8.66 mils based on manufacturer's minimum width specification. How will I identify that it

We have seen a similar problem. Turned out to be mechanical stress on the component caused by the method of location and clamping at ICT. Where is the component located on the assembly? Poorly adjusted clamping pillars on clamshell fixtures can cause

Good Morning, The customer is looking for void free connections. They had never specified an acceptable percentage. We are reacting to the test yield. Our yield has averaged 50%. We do not test the product so we rely on feeback from the customer. Us

How do other people check their solder joint strength after a process change? For example, say you are getting wetting problems and you feel that a change to the reflow profile may help, or perhaps a slight change to the stencil aperture to reduce so

Dear SMT Manufacturer, I am wondering if the device could have so much moisture in it and storing it in a dry cabinet isn't going to remove it all. As a final test to see if moisture in the device is causing the voids/solder balls then I'd bake it a

Yes, I have. think I have pretty good reflow profile. We use Lead-Free,No-Clean,SAC305 Solder Paste. The problem is at LGA design.The pad size is alot bigger than BGA. They are totally flat and do not have balls/spheres which melted and collapsed thr

| I am having problems processing immersion gold boards. The achieved solder joints appear acceptable a la IPC-A-610, but the resultant joint does not fully cover the land, i.e. you can still see an outline of gold pad. | What is the best way to achi

| Regardless of what various inspection standards state, has anyone got any information on how the strength of a soldered joint changes with the amount of solder in contact with the legs. ie if there is 0.152um depth of contact how does the joint st
