Take a few parts from the reel and look close at the parts to make sure the bottom surface of the leads is below the bottom surface of the body.

| Yes l know this problem keeps cropping up on the forum but l've missed some of the follow-ups. | | Our problem is that the lifting only occurs on 3% of production so actually detecting an improvement is difficult. We're actually having to inspect

Hi Simon, The main reason that it would probably be removed would be do to lack of clearance for a soldermask dam from pad to pad. typically if the clearance from pad to pad is under .008 the solder mask dam would be removed. Min recomended dam siz

Does anyone have design knowledge of why some manufacturers remove solder resist from the area around pads on fine pitch devices? What purpose does it serve? I only know that it would be better for AOI as you would not have light being reflected fro

Marc: Please be more explicit. * When you say, "parts have a metal shell"; are you talking about the component leads or the component body? What is the metal, what is it appearance, and what are it's implications? * When you say, "the parts have a

No clean solder paste. One further observation ... the parts have a metal shell and are 'floating' high on the paste. Though there is wetting on the metal shell, it doesn't seem to sink as far as it should and this could be lifting the soldertails f

Details, details: 1) The metal shell is part of the component body. The base metal is austenitic stainless steel (304) that has been plated with 90/10 tin-lead over nickel (semi-bright). 2) The entire part (leads and shell) is elevated by the mass o

I am looking for advice or information from anyone about the possible reliability problems associated with epoxy on solder pads of discrete devices. Will the epoxy expand and lift over time, Will there be adverse reaction between the solder and the e
