What you are most likely dealing with: Insufficient Pure Sn layer ( multiple causes ) Because elevated temperatures accelerate the diffusion process, the thickness of the Pure Sn layer will reduce during every thermal cycle... ( bakeing PCBs, S

We currently use Kester's ep256 as well and it seems to be a bit more grainy than one would expect from lead, especially if the temperature is too low. That paste says it's specialty is being robust over a wide range of profiles and stencil conditio

If whatever is preventing the leads on your component from wetting is oxidation, cleaning the component will not help. Consider trying a more active flux prior to soldering. Understand from your supplier the potential complications that may affect

ACI offers solderability restoration services by using Reduced Oxide Soldering Activation (ROSA) technology to remove the oxide layers from circuit boards or components and then re-tin or otherwise coat them to maintain a solderable surface. The R

Robert: Several points: 1 Dross is a mixture of various things with no "fixed" composition: � The obvious things are metal oxides mixed with metal and this can vary in color with temperature and composition - remember some intermetallic oxides form

We've got lots of connectors at my place of employment like this. What I do is... I run these "slower than molasses in January" - we're talkin' 2 Ft/Min. conveyor speeds. Obviously this will have an effect on your thermal profile so compensate acco

Leaded solder is liquidus at 183C, 220C is max. Sounds to me your boards might be contaminated or the plating is poor and allows oxidation. Without seeing the boards or profile, I recommend you slow down your oven for a longer soak, to allow the acti
