Is the Sn% of the plating of the pin related to wetting quality?. I am having issues with one IC maker where some pins are OK and one or two pins are not soldered, even when there is weeting evidence underneath the pin. I am blaming the %Sn too hig

I have recently come across a device which has a palladium over nickel finish which when soldered shows evidence of poor wetting to the lead ( i.e. a wetting angle greater than 90�) about three quarters of the way up the side of lead. This is only vi

Good morning Dave F. I am not going to try to touchup the solder pad until I get surface analysis work done, don't want to ruin the evidence. I am getting XPS work done not XRF, XPS is X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and can see very thin films of o

Well, everyone has provided good advice, but if you are looking for a wave flux that can provide much better dwell times and consistent wetting throughout the hole fill, without making adjustments to your production process, I suggest going with Senj

Hi, I am having some PTH non wetting issues. Setup and chronology of events is explained: Set Up; Part: 1 MM pitch connector 378 pins Solder: Kester Ultra Pure 63/37 solder Pot; 250 C pre heat; Peak 94C top side Flux: Qualitek 775, Fluxer: foam T

Hi all, There are no ground layers which makes the non wetting rate a bit confounding. The foam fluxer has not been cleaned in a while though, while there is a strong evidence of fluxing by running blank paper and looking up the top side

3W. Figure 8-84 shown evidence of heel bend wetting(but no written criteria mention about the solder fillet must present at the heel bend). It is acceptable if the minimum D(3W/75%L)extend from toe which is no evidence of solder fillet at heel bend?

You need to get yourself a copy of IPC 610. this has all the specs regrding placement and registration. chip aprts are allowed to have 50% side overhang. the fillet requirements are "evidence of wetted fillet" . I would not know if a cap being 51

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

Is the component an LGA or BGA? If its a BGA, it appears like the component is missing balls, if its an LGA, it appears like the solder isn't wetting to the component. What solder are you using? The wetting to the larger pads in the last pic seems
