I'm thinking that your soldering irons are not up to the task. take a tip temperature measurement of the iron prior to and during soldering process. With high temp solder alloys you need an iron that provides continuous temperature at the tip. Doing

| Hi, | | For hand placement you should see about 150-200 ppm of errors (solder, placement, values etc) on a board populated of types such as 1206, 0805, SOT, Tantalum etc. . As for solely wrong components (component at wrong location) you can usual

I'm curious what other companies are doing in their soldering area (wave/ hand solder/ solder fountain) to ensure thier employees are protected sufficiently against solder fume and lead oxides. Subsequently what it implies in terms of selecting the r

Joris We don�t know the maximum period to store the boards without having problems with blowholes. Too many variables to determine. We prefer to just fix the problem, but understand that you have stock that you need to build-down. Determining mois

Just started doing BGA rework. After the removal of the "old" component and after site cleaning/component reballing I am ready to install the component on the PCB. It is recommended to apply flux or paste to the board/component. I would appreciate m

All of the discussion of "environmental controls" are a matter of degree, dependent on the requirements of the product that you manufacture. For example: shops assembling under-the-hood products have different requirements than shops making garage d

Excess low residue flux is very dangerous to leave on your finished assembly, because it can: * Be corrosive to your solder connections * Promote dendrite growth. To prevent this, follow your supplier's recommendations on: * Applying the proper amou

I agree. Poor soldering technique is the most straightward way of creating solder balls during hand soldering operations.

I am having cleaning problems when processing PCB's which have TAIYO solder mask on them. After processing, hand soldering and cleaning, a sticky residue is remains, resulting in a cosmetically poor finish with tide marks etc. Other soldermasks do no
