Having problem with a 2X50 SCKT Strip PTH component(fine pitch) bridging on the wave. The PCB runs in wave pallets. Just wanting to know what successful findings have been done to eliminate bridging? Pallet angles? Copper or titanium inserts? Air kni

Bridging Causes: Insufficient flux, Excessive pre-heat, High conveyor speed, Solder contamination Look here: * http://www.smtnet.com/library/files/upload/Reflow%20Wave%20Poster.pdf * http://smt.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=Archi

Pallet angle is usually pretty good. Lead length is also another good thing to keep as short as possible. Air Knives don't work that well. Also check your board. Make sure you have solder resist between each and every thru-hole pad. If the board

Well, it took me a while but I had a look at some gerbers. On a PCB with neighboring 0402's 0.006" apart, and paste reduced 0.75mil on each side, I get lots of bridging. On a later rev of the same PCB, we have neighboring 0402's 0.018" apart,and pa

Les, Some of the answers to design or stencil aperture/placement machine depend upon what is the current spacing between your components which you didn't specify. Chip components such as 0402's and 0201's typically have very small reductions in pas

Are you saying that increasing the frequency of cleaning to every 3 boards *reduced* bridging, or that it's just something you tried? I don't understand why that would help(in my experience it has reduced "insufficient solder" conditions but not brid

Hi MSK, Stencil thickness: 5mils with laser cut Smallest pitch: 20mils Underscreen cleaning frequency: 10 bds per cleaning Note: We have decreased the cleaning frequency from 10 boards to 3 bds to reduce solder bridging after printing Regards,

| | | | | | | We are having a bridging problem with SOIC 14,16 and 20 pin devices during flow solder of the bottom side of our boards. This bridging occurs about half way up the lead between the board and the body of the IC. The chip parts are no

I have a problem with solder bridging between IC leads, especially fine pitch leads. If we lessen the apature ratio and/or decrease stencil thickness, I have more of a chance for unsoldered or insufficent joints. I am looking for any information th
