Does anyone have any insight on alternatives to Indium NC-SMQ 92J solder paste for minimizing poor wetting on parts with oxidized leads (see datasheet here: http://www.dtsprocess.com/contents/articlefiles/6-SMQ92j.pdf). I am considering setting up a

I am a big fan of AIM SnPb solder paste. I currently use NC257-2 (no-clean, 89.5%), and recommend you include it in your evaluations.

try Almit Sn62 HM1 RMA V14L ....its the best no clean lead paste for wetting...I sell it and it has solved wetting problems many times when users have used other pastes

Dewetting: Solder does not adhere to lead or land, caused by: * Poor solderability of lands. * Poor solderability of leads. * Solder paste integrity. * Lead plating integrity. Need more information, please: * What is dewetting [ie, component, pad, e

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

They work well in silver conductive epoxy in hybrid applications. They are very poor in no clean applications. They don't work that well in OA solder paste either. Used them once in OA paste and in a nitrogen. They looked just fine. Solder to Pd

* Finally, when soldered by hand, do the problem pads take solder? Yes, the XRF analysis will be interesting.

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

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

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
