Hello Anthony, The amount of solder that the process is capable of applying is the biggest limitation. I believe that solder paste is only approx. 50% metal by volume. When connectors are soldered in intrusive reflow, often the stencil is "overprint

Dear all I hope someone could have very useful idea for sockets soldered by machine either Reflow or Vapor.And, kindly advise me. Thanks in advance.

I concur with your second approach. A profile needs to be tailored to the design of the board, the components, and the solder paste. Your first approach seems to try to balance lower quality soldering with a lower process complexity.

If you kink the leads will you be able to insert it without flexing the board/moving any of the other components? Also these pin headers aren't always designed for this process so have you checked that it will take the elevated temperatures?

Thanks Davf that socket we couldn't change since the customers supply these sockets.we can contro only our process.

Per our staff here at ACI......... Higher Temperatures maybe necessary to achieve good solder process results. The alloy formed when HASL coating protects the copper is the same as that when OSP provide protection. Temperatures may be increased to im

Hi Good Luck Neil, When I first saw this process described, what you are experiencing was my first visual thoughts. Partial filling as well as huge solder voids inside of the joints. I figured for low reliability product or short life maybe this t

OK i have a question: I have a prototype BOM and i suggested the customer that we use Paste-in-hole for the 1 connector that they want to use, but its quite high component and not very wide: http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/022272051_sd.pdf If i u

The curled legs may push the paste out of the hole, making things messy. This also will decrease your volume of paste which means your solder joints are not as robust as you would like. Also with this process, voiding can be a big issue depending o

Hi mates, Yes, the lighter mass is a valid reasoning. in addition to the "lighter (mass) than thou" point of view, 1) the first reason for mounting active Parts (eg. IC, QFP, LGA...) is to minimize the temperature exposure of the Parts to a single
