Here's two choices. 1 Before accepting a lot of boards from your supplier: * Print some paste on a board * Reflow the paste * Inspect the quality of the solder connection * Make a decision on accpting the board based on that observation. 2 Have yo

Hi ji tae, we had a similar problem with QFPs 0,5 pitch processed by one subcontractor. The symptoms we noticed were: - the solderjointshape and wetting looked normal - the surface had a dull gray appearance - by pushing a lead sideways with a tweez

We had a solder joint problem in gold plated PLCC68 ic. We do double sided reflow process with Cookson OL107F paste. First we do top with paste and second with glue process.The solder joint shape and wetting looked normal.In the process of testing

It has been our experience that the problem you have discribed was not solder process related. We had two such instances in the past and both were component related. The first case involved a PLCC28 that failed test. Reflowing the solder seemed to co

I recently encountered reflow soldering defects on a pair diode package, the smd pad had a green contamination, I'm convinced that this is not oxidation. The no-solder condition appears to be caused by a sloppy soldermask process, although over the y

Dear all We have since few weeks problems with BGA solder joint integrity on ENIG finish. Under relatively very flexible of the FR4, the joint breaks between ball and PWB. When we take off the BGA for analysis, some of the pads seem very flat, totaly

I'm running intrusive reflow. What happened was when the board went thru' the first reflow ( which is secondary side ), at Post reflow, I can see the solder joint quality is very good smooth and shiny. But when we proceed with the 2nd reflow, at Post

Hello Dave, Mechanically the conection between the component pad and PCB pad is good (the solder joint is very strong). The problem is associated with poor contact after the use by the customer (vibration, temperature, etc). You can see the pictures

I need teoretical info for theme "Matted surface vs solder ball". Is it right that some solder pastes decrease solder balling but give matted surface after reflow? That diference between these pastes and others? Are the matted surface worse solder b

I found a reference to Cost of Conversion earlier this year. Basically, the average cost to convert a single component from raw materials to assembled goods is $.08, just after pick and place. After placement and before reflow, repair (solder paste r
