Sorry I misled you. The PCB pads are wetting, but there is no fillet being formed. After reflow, it looks as though no paste was put down on the pads; however the paste print is fine. All other components solder real nice, it's only the Pd-Ag parts t

I have read some threads about poor wetting on palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) coated components. I followed the suggestions, but I am still having a problem. The part is an 0603 chip type (Vishay varistor). The Process: solder paste is lead-free Alpha Met

When you talk about 'poor wetting', 'dewett', 'no wets', etc.; are you seeing solder pulling back or away from the pad? Please describe the condition. Dewetting. The condition in the solder joint in which the liquid solder has not adhered intimate

Hi Dave, The paste applied to the board ends up on the tombstone. The pad has a thin covering of solder most of the time, this is why I think they call it a dewet. Occasionally the pad shows some areas of gold and very rarely are some pads not wet at

First, where the temperatures that aare mentioned in the original post measured? Second, it sounds like the PdAg component terminations are not seeing enough heat [your soldering iron touch-up proves this]. Your 232*C peak is the absolute minimum s

Designers love to do BIG copper pours for several reasons: * Maximize heat spreading. * Increase EMI shielding. * Laziness. The poor folk that solder the parts on boards HATE big copper planes near solder pads. During soldering, fat copper traces [

Hello Dears, I'm a small CS Engineering at Taiwan.There are some problem on DIMM connector area with poor solderability at ODM. It was random on Dimm connector area and the SMT area is fine. At the same time, there were other PCB vendor's product whi

No, I don't work for Suntech (me company name is different but close, it much have been misspelled:-)) and the company isn't exactly a trace lab, However, that wasn't the point why I �jumped in�. Defining a problem as �solderability� is too generic.

It was the wave process, Just thought I'd let everyone know for future reference. Partial reflow at selected leads I am now aware that 63/37 does indeed have "a slushy zone" that I thought was not possible. Russ
