Just want to ask. What is the effect of dull gold surface on solderability? When I made a test run with several pieces containing dull gold defect on the pad(of varying levels), I found that components can still stick to the pad with good amount o

Ask Brain Toleno at "circuitsassembly.com/blog" He's a smart guy and works as team lead at Henkel Loctite. Just don't take him out for drinks.

It will not easy to measure solderability on PCB pad. Any metal tends to oxidize with time and temperature. Make sure your storage of the PCB is accordance to supplier recommended specification.

You can try using the brand-solvent "Genesolv 2004" in conjunction with a degreaser machine(source for own machine type?). this all helps to clean off the NC flux. we used it all integrated together, to clean a satellite modular card. reason we ha

Looking at the appearance of pads and solder joint is pretty subjective. Especially lead free people are all over the map on the physical appearance of pads and joints. The true test is solderabilty testing, weather it’s just looking for good wetti

Dear Tom : I hope I �m not too late. We produce PC motherboards with some buses exceeding the speed of 100MHz . we use no clean flux and it is OK even with the residues you can see under a microscope. But according to our own experience through a mo
