Hello All, I used to hear that PCB with immersion silver finishing, its non component location pads, tend to be discolour (Yellowish) after went through heat cycle, such as reflow oven. However, if the component solderbility on the PCB is OK, can w

We see this fairly often. It doesn't affect solderability. Our analysis makes us think this coloration is copper. The reason copper appears on the surface may be that heat cycles increase the thinness and porosity of the immersion silver [IAg] coatin

Try titanium edge stiffners on the PCB before making solder pallets.

I had seen such effect caused by the wave itself, where the exposed wave surface was coated by a thin dull oxide layer which then adhered to the bottom side of PCB during wave soldering. You could verify if the wave surface is clean metal when the P

i think you need to use a PCB central support. do you know that part ? it specializes in preventing PCB board from bowing during wave soldering.

Is this a single PCB or a multi-up array? At the very least you should probably pick up a universal wave pallet, check out AGI or DMI. -Phil

Our best suggestion - get the copper balanced and if possible go to higher Tg materials.

Thanks for you suggestions, guys. davef, I am gonna get with my PCB suppliers and talk to them about copper balancing and checking the Tg of the materials they use. SC, I am working towards designing wave pallets for my boards and try your suggesti

There are some good suggestions here...reflow pallets, and copper balancing. We would also suggest verifying that your problem is not caused by moisture. How much time passed between first side and second side reflow, and how humid is the environme

Good afternoon all, I have been trying to find a solution to a defect I just noticed. After stencil printing and smt part placement on the secondary side of my boards, I run them through a wave soldering system. All my components got soldered perfe
