I am running boards with gold fingers on a pallet for masking purposes. The pallets worked fine for a while but know the gold fingers are getting solder on them. We have tried everythin: new pallets, cleaning the pallet and board to be sure there

Are the components that fall from the board solderable? Is the board solderable? Where is the solder for the components that fall from the board [eg, on the pads, on the component]?

Dear all, we are using the lead-free SN100C solder alloy for wave soldering. We are experiencing wetting problems each time we have to solder a thick board or a board with a large ground plane.I think that maybe we are not using the right flux. I w

Cleaning method will depend on the type of flux > that you use in your soldering process. Yes it is isopropyl alcohol. We use "no-clean" halide free flux (Multicore X33-06i). We still cleaning and I beleive it is because we roto trim the leads aft

I am having problems soldering a Rohs compliant BGA ATMEL AT91RM9200(rohs compliant board) This device recommends a soldering profile from J-STD-20 and a minimum peak package temperature of 250 centigrade,peak 260. However a lot of the other componen

Is anybody using Vicor VI Chips (SMT version)? We are using a number of these on some of our boards and are having inaccurate placement and insufficient solder issues (8 mil step stencil still not enough). If you are placing these devices: 1. Which

You're correct: * Sealed relays should not be cracked or have moisture intrusion. * Hand soldering relays is going to be expensive. [Using a mini-solder pot for this might reduce some of the burden.] The good part is that the problem is gross enough

Hi there all, we are having problems with 2 qfp devices. grainy poorly reflowed solder joints. One 100 pin .5mm pitch, and one 64 pin .5 mm pitch . Both of these devices have a thermo pad on the back of them (pad area soldered to back of device)which

Sometimes solder balling is related to oxidized paste or paste that has sat on the pcb too long before reflow. Mostly it is related to process, sorry... Too slow or too fast of a reflow ramp rate. Heating up an assembly too quickly will not allow the
