I need some input on what good solder thieves dimensions should be. I am limited to solving my bridging problem with solder thieves; all process/wave variables have been adjusted to try to solve this problem. There are several of these connectors on

I agree with DDave, You have something else wrong! .100 dips with .05" lead protrusion should not bridge (in fact I would think that it would be almost impossible). Tell us about your machine, (laminar flow, A-wave, etc.., size of nozzle, wave heig

Bridges are front to back. To me this seems to indicate thieves would pull the solder away from the pins. I feel I am correct in that theory. Yes, it would be a good idea for us to bring in a consultant but I have the opportunity right now to make b

I can't comment on 20 pitch TSOP, but wave soldering wider pitch parts require: * Orienting components with the leads perpendicular to the wave [moving parallel to the rails]. * Thieving [robbing] pads on trailing pads for the component. Search the

Perhaps for the future, you could have your board house add copper thieving to the edges. I don't know if that will increase cost though. Most of our arrays come in with copper thieving and we don't ask for it. At least then you'd have copper in

Charlie, There are 2 ways to go and they both work. 1. Add thieving pads of the same size and pitch to all 4 corners 2. Make the exisiting 4 corner pads "doublewides" Both ways work. I like #2 because you don't get a bridge. Even though a bridge

Wolfgang: I agree that the IPC pads are reflow / top side wave solder. We run bottom-side PCLL at 45� to the wave with fairly involved solder thieves. Ta. Dave F

This "thieving" idea is a good one. There is a SMTnet thread on connector thiefs from a coupla years ago that you might check.
