Hi all, I have a strange problem,while building a large 15x15inch 3.5mm thick Pcb.During topside reflow i am experiencing some misaligned parts and even bridging on a bga that are sitting very close to a D size tantalum cap.The strange thing is that

If I read this correctly you have two identical ovens that were setup the same ie zone temps, fan speeds etc... when you ran the same board through each of them one showed a lower board temp. Is this correct? Is the temp of the board 7 deg. lower t

We never really use to calibrate the thermocouples on our reflow oven or wave solder systems, but we did disconnect the T/C's and input a calibration standard to check that the computer cards were correctly reading the proper temperature for a given

We've never seen the defect that you describe, but in wave soldering-land blowholes usually are caused by moisture in the board that out-gasses through the too thin plating of through holes. * Bandaid fix: bake the boards * Long-term fix: Obtain boar

Try baking your boards first to remove the moisture. Moisture and boards that have not been drilled properly will cause pin hole or blow holes in PTH. Also take a look the surface of the pads before printing. You maybe contaminating the surfaces of t

How many % were affected? If a few,it can be caused bcoz of PCB coating. We had encountered it and PCB house replaced for faulty boards. Since then, we do test first if we hve to solder PCBs from this PCB house.

Hi, in my experience, the humidity is trapped in the solder paste. Otherwise you can also try to : adjust preheat profile, and /or increase paste viscosity, and /or increase paste metal content (they are the most common causes).

Grant has a good idea, we started that way also. We made a tank out of stainless steel with copper tube coils about 18" off the bottom. Circulate cold water through the tubes to condense the vapor to keep the loss down. We used electric burners under
