Hi, Has any body experienced the problem of poor cotacts on HDMI connectors. The connectors pins are gold plated and we see some kind of white residue on the gold pins.How to check if this is a flux residue?We are using No Clean flux in wave solderin

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

Hello All! I have a problem that hopefully someone out there might have some ideas. I have an assembly that upon the "dental pick test" the entire solder fillet is coming up with the lead and leaving what appears to be a bare pad. I believe that th

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

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

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

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

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
