I encounter the problem, it is easy for pad(copper) to drop off from the PCB, which is Ni/Au finish. so my question is whether there is any specification about the force between pad and laminate material, and does the PCB corpoartion test this parame

I'm trying to replace the PTH connectors with the SMT connectors in my design, and would like to make sure the SMT connector solder joints are as stong as PTH's. What's the right test to verify that? Is Pull and Shear test is the right choice? Where

I have heard the term as both green stick and orange stick, but yes, pushing on the leads to detect un soldered leads. The amount of force is subjective. Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

First, any results of pull or shear tests are unscientific at best. [We pop our BGA from boards with, appropriately enough, a beverage can opener.] Second, we have no have problems with your ENIG specification. Third, as with your customer, we'd e

We call this the "orange stick test", but who's coloring? In preforming the test, you're supposed to use a light touch. Unfortunately, it's difficult to calibrate a "light touch." So, operators often end-up using too much force when probing or usi

We agree with Wolfgang. Adding points along his line of reasoning: * Also consider placed component prescience. Sometimes, a mis-pick results in paste on the nozzle, which leads to the next component being stuck on the nozzle and not placed, which

Hello: Did anyone make some tests to show the adherence force between placed components and solder paste before soldering? and is there anyone who measure this adherence force during production?and any benifits fromthis activity? Thanks with best re

You can test for solder paste tack using IPC-TM-650 method 2.4.44. This will give you an idea of the adhesive strength of your paste prior to reflow.

We just got our used Fuji IP-1 working well. Sometimes during testing of a new program/pcb we like to stop the run and re-start with a clean board. When we make the IP-1 eject the unfinished pcb and start with a new pcb the IP-1 does not scan the f

First, I don�t understand why your board fabricator can�t do a good job plugging your vias. Additionally, when you consider that they forgot to plug the first batch of boards, it makes me wonder if they are desirable as a supplier. Generally, we us
