Rob We agree with Jason's point about swab lead indicators. You need to be careful interpreting the results. Lead must be in sufficient measurable quantities as found in Sn 63/37 or Sn 60/40 solders. Handheld units are: * Oxford (bought the X-Met

Juan There are many things that cause this and the first thing I would do is request quality records from your board fab facility on that particular lot. If they are unwilling to give them to you this is a good sign they had a processing problem. Th

I have read many of the past threads on both topics and I still am not convinced I know the answer to the soldering problem we are encountering. I am hopping someone can help. I have a dense SMT board we are building and have been building for some
