Jeff: Try this: ROSA. John�s spot on. I�ll add that it is a fluxless method that reduces the oxides in an aqueous solution. Another source of information is: Trench, M., Hillman, D., Lucey, G., "Environmentally Friendly Closed Loop Soldering,"

Hi As I got thinking about your problem, as you stated it, I am wondering if maybe we have some oxides or too thin of a Gold Immersion layer so that some of the underlying NI is being oxidized. The colorization that you described is what intriques m

Your customer's question is reasonable. Soldering to nickel is not always a walk on the beach [can of corn, or whatever]. This issue is flux not solder. Your Sn63 will have plenty of strength, providing the solder connection is well formed. You s

The parts adhere solder very well. It does not pertain to a certain part on the board either it is all over the board. I cant really say that it is oxidization all you can tell is that on certain parts of the pad still shows like white tin and that

Hello folks, I have a customer who has what appears to be very oxidized leads on a component. Their component mnf. has no new product to offer and they have 20K of these they have to solder to get product out the door. They are using a no-clean chemi

First, how oxidized are these solder balls? Will the take solder using your routine flux / paste? Second, on restoring solderability, the three basic methods you can use to restore solderability on components are: * Highly active fluxes in a retinn
