Hi Any, This is from an earlies thread "Solder Ball After Reflow Process". Date: August 16, 2006 01:52 PM Author: Russ Subject: Solder Ball After Reflow Process Oven settings are meaningless here. What does the board see? It is the paste we a

So for your SMT1/SMT2/PTH boards, you have poor solderability during SMT2. [Even if you have no SMT2 and only ST1/PTH, our answer is the same.] We assume this occurs on one board part number only. We guess that your bare boards have insufficient gol

can some one give me some suggestion to solve the problem. we are using cooksun/alphametal rma9086 paste for our screenprinting. after the reflow we see lot of solder ball on the board. we have maintained the exact profile given by the manufacurer. w

This appears to be black-pad and is often the result of using specs that call for gold plating that is too thick. The black pad is corrosion that is created between the gold and electroless nickel during the gold plating process. This is counter in

Boots: Here's several methods for guessing at the amount of solder on your connection: * First, 'Down & Dirty' ** Assume that the solder is flat, which is reasonable since it's 'flattened' by the component package ** Assume 100% paste transfer from t

I am building a rugged digital video camera product that essentially is just a sandwitch of 3 parts: #1: front piece is machined aluminum with C-mount thread #2: middle piece is 1/16" printed circuit board #3: back piece is machined aluminum The

0.5um(Ni~6.5um) after reflow(data taken in 48hrs).But after performing temperature cycle test ,the former aging rate(from the shear strength ) seems faster than the latter.Why!?Someone call this the 'precipitation hardness',but what actually is it! A

Let�s be basic. The two most common causes of BGA opens that we talk about here are: 1 Gold thickness and 2 Black pad. Given the thickness of gold that you talking about, it�s reasonable to consider thickness as the first alternative to investigat

Hi, I need help on how to address the solder wicking on the samtec searay connector after reflow resulting to open solder joints on thick and thermal heavy PCB (4.4mm and 6.3mm). I increased my solder paste thickness to 8 mils, the connector is manua
