Hi all, We produced a RoHS (lead-free) prototype order recently, and there was some components that we needed to replace on a couple of PCBA's. We found it very hard to do this even with the new solder iron. The components was just small RoHS SOIC's

I am interested in RoHS "through-hole soldering": We have a problem with solder wetting and fillet during selective and wave soldering, with a Ni/Au PCBA!! Different fluxes has been tested, but this is really a big issue. Now; there is only a few fl

What is the best method to repair Warped PCBA. Obviuosly twisting it back to make it flat would be a disasterous. The method that I've tried wold be mounting the assembled board to the flat holder with the clamp and bake them at 120 Deg C for about 4

Hi All, I am producing a lot of high cost PCBA where the pCB material is the `ROGER' material. Due to some of the high components and handling we get pad lifted issues sometimes and as of now are unable to do repairs on these. Please help if anybo

Does the pcba:s comes directly from the assembly line, You are going to do rework on? If faulty pcba:s comes back from, let say a customer from outside or the pcba:s has been on Your shelf for some days/weeks, exposed to open environment (humidity in

You�re correct. If you attach $5 to each board, your customer will be happy to approve your process change. Consider: �Process Improvement Strategies: Implementation Of A No-Clean Process" http://www.smta.org/knowledge/proceedings_abstract.cfm?PRO

The method you suggest is about the only way to �clean-up� this terrible situation. Realistically, this is a "memory" type condition induced by design, build symmetry, "cross ply construction", excessive cool down rates during lamination or reflow a

Hi all. One of our customers recently asked us during an audit of our PCBA rework line if we have a limit for the total number of reworks/repairs that can be done on one PCBA. We specify 3x maximum on one location of a major part (LSI for example). B

Don't waste your time or your repair technicians time on 100 PCBA's. Order the correct part size for the pads and return the old part. There shouldn't be much of a cost difference. This will save you a massive amount of time on rework not to menti

We do the following things: 1.) RoHS PCB:s is marked with a code. This is to identify that the PCB:s itself are RoHS compliant. 2.) If it is a true RoHS PCBA; we put a printed label with a green "texture" on the PCBA. 3.) If it is a mixed PB free/PB;
