Solder Spotting on Gold

Electronics Forum | Thu Aug 06 09:51:20 EDT 1998 | Bob Willis

This text may be of interest to any one with tin lead spots Guide to Solder Spots - A New Plague in Manufacture ? So what are solder spots ? They appear to be the next big problem in modern reflow assembly in fact in any process that involves solder

Wow! Those are low limits.

I think I'll have to get a copy of those specs. This vendor claims that the 40 uG/sq in is IPC class III and is very, very, clean. I would like to show him (or at least upper management)that what he's says just isn't so. Unfortunately, I don't think

First, how oxidized are these solder balls? Will the take solder using your routine flux / paste? Second, on restoring solderability, the three basic methods you can use to restore solderability on components are: * Highly active fluxes in a retinn

.025" pitch so the only problem we run into is too much HASL on the adhesive side causing improper glue dispense. | As Earl keeps saying HASL thickness is hard to impossible to control. I think we need to look hard at OSP's again but then you get in

How compatible is SN100C wave on SAC305 hasl pcb or vice-versa?

Electronics Forum | Mon May 29 23:39:11 EDT 2006 | Faizal

Can anyone advice me on the effect of SN100C wave solder on SAC305 hasl board? I suppose the silver content on the hasl pcb would leech(contaminate) into solder pot.? Would it affect the surface bonding between copper pad and the solder.?

Wave soldering problem - strange colour of the solder

Electronics Forum | Fri Jan 19 10:43:28 EST 2007 | jimmyjames

You guys are all joking right?! There aren't any contaminates in your solder, the different colors on the surface are completely normal and even expected. The top layer of solder oxidizes and the structure of the surface resembles crystals, refract

What is the std Resistivity for DI water at Aqueous

Electronics Forum | Tue Jul 31 13:55:27 EDT 2001 | mparker

Maintain DI water to 18 Meg Ohms resistivity. You can go down as low as 2 Meg ohms, in a pinch, but I would caution on what type of board you are running if trying to clean on 2 Meg ohm. Anything that is running an RF or high frequency circuit could
