Standard for appearance: J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610 committees eliminated the requirement that solder connections be "bright and shiny". Certain solderability protections; such as Au, NiPd, NiPdAu; can affect the surface texture of a solder connection,

few more questions: Is there any standard saying that the dull surface is accepted if solder Au plated leads? Understand that more than 3% Au in the solder connection leads to unacceptable embrittlement of the connection. How about any standard relat

Hello all. We have been having some problems soldering to what we believe is a nickel plated spring steel battery terminal to a PCB. We have tried scrapping , then tinning, dipping and still have problems. Are there any special fluxes or pre-treats t

When soldering a component to a board, the solderability protection on the component combines with the solderability protection on the board and the solder to form an alloy. This alloy is unique for that combination of solder and solderability protec

I have been involved in SMT for only a few months so I am coming from a position of extreame ignorance. I have been asked to investigate the differences in soldering to components with Paladium coated leads vs the standard Tin_lead. I would appreci

Why soldering issues? I'd guess the nickel is corroded. It is very difficult to solder to oxidized nickel. Your SAC305 would get kicked all the way down the conveyor by nickel oxide. A lack of Ni-Sn-IMC formation will confirm this dewetting . What's

Joseph, We have all been using lead free components for some time. Many passive already have a Pb free plating and we have not seen catastophic failures on them. From the information I have seen, I think this should be OK (with the exception of BGA'

A reading of the pictures is: A1: Looks like pad [B1] is smaller than the other pads. It�s weird that the pads are such different colors. A2: Looks like pad [B1] is smaller than the other pads. Solder mask opening [B1] is misregistered and seems s

I assume that you're talking about wanting to solder to metal tabs that are spot welded to the battery terminal. These tabs are not meant to be soldered. The metal was special selected for welding. In the old days, you could buy plumbing flux at th
