Expanding on the limit of the portion of gold acceptable in a solder connection [mentioned in an earlier post]: The embrittlement culprit, AuSn4, is 29 weight percent gold. So even if one had 100% tin as the solder alloy and 10% gold were dissolved

A properly formed solder connection is stronger than the underlying copper to laminate bond. Measuring pad peal strength: IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.21 for multiple solderings, use Method 2.4.8 for copper peal using an Instron machine. Typical requiremen

Materials you see are corner bond adhesive, main purpose of this is mechanical shock absorber , it promotes additional adhession to lessen stress to solder joints incase device subjected to mechanical stress like dropping.By function, corner bond

Unless you've got an extremely agressive cleaner, the epoxy should hold the parts during the delay time. That's their job basically. We ran reflow first pass, glue parts, then wave solder second pass. There were potential delays between adhesive b

Hi, ENIG finish is the same reason I came to this forum for the first time a few months ago. I found a bunch of useful information by searching the archives. Check it out. ENIG has some good properties like flatness, and the process control has i

Get a demonstration, on most packages these systems can see down a row. You don't see solder flux residue with X-Ray. You don't see the intermettalic bond with x-ray. They are some what expensive but together with X-ray you have an excellent quality

Hi davef, thanks again for that enlightenment. I'm just curious about what's happening with the solder joint of the said process. Again to add to my unending queries for now: So on top of that copper is a thin layer of lead-free solder composition

Thanks Chris. As I was writing my last message our mailperson dropped off the latest issue of Circuit Assembly. It has an article on mixing SMT and COB on the same board. The author recommends as a compromise 10-20 micro inches of gold over 70-100 of
