Hi All, I was puzzled because of terrible blowholes in solder joints of gold plated odd-form components. I am very confused because all other components on the boards have perfect solder joints. Here are some process details: 1) Solder paste: N

Heck, now I look up and see this is SMTdotNET. Do I get banned for asking a TH question? So here's my first real TH issue after living so long in the SMT world. We are having a sudden issue in what has been a stable process for quite some time. I

Hi ! The main problem being faced currently is formation of solder balls - to be precise, these are micro solder beads generally found attached with bodies of SOTs, Chip Caps, Chip Resistors, between pins of SOICs (50 mil) - lying on PCB surface,

I am using AIM Electropure SN63/Pb37 Solder, & AIM NC266-3 Flux; just like what ACE recommends. I have both Ultra High Pure T-Tanks and a Cryogenic Dewar Tank for Nitrogen, and neither seems to have improved the problem. I place a piece of tempered

We are currently wave soldering connectors that are held in place by stainless steel screws. About 20% of these screws emerge from the process with varying quantities of solder attached to them. We have just had our solder bath checked and no impurit

I'm trying to find a solution that will clean our PCBAs that will meet the following criteria: 1. Low cost 2. Enable us to clean 25 - 100 PCBAs per day 3. Leave boards clean, including residue removal 4. Preferably environmental friendly 5. should b

We used fluxes: Cobar 94-QMB (no bismuth), RF800, Cobar94RXZ-M, with foam and spray fluxers: MBO clean alloy SN63PB37.experienced with changing preheatting, speed of covoyer single and double wave., we tried every combination. I think the problem is

I have zero experience with SN100c, but hey, how much different can it be from Sn63Pb37?! We solder large connectors all the time - sometimes these connectors reside on a ground plane area. We've been able to overcome hole fill issues (on 63/37) th

Sn62Pb36Ag2 has a higher liquidus point of 189C as compared to Sn63Pb37 at 183C. You may need to slightly adjust your oven profiles to use it compared to SnPb. We have had good solder-ability and reliability with it in our IPC Class II products. A
