unsure of what solder spec. your working to?.IPC/EIA J-STD-001C, Section 9.2.4 clearly states dull, matte, gray or grainy appearing solders are accpetable depending on your process and if the acceptability of the neaxt paragraph is met.IPC 610 and J-

Is there a steadfast rule of thumb for a good solder joint on an Enig Gold board. I come across this number 217C when discussing BGA profiles. Is this a published number? I sure could use a reference. Anybody feedback is appreciated.

Michelle, Our experience with no-clean solder pastes has been that water washing a mis-print is a bad idea. We've found that DI water does not do a sufficient job removing the no-clean paste (the same goes for stencils). Instead, we have washed no

No argument here. But I've don't think I've ever seen solder balls on 0402s. Even when they're placed on narrow G dimension pads, where there is little toe fillet, I've never seen a solder ball. But your idea of reversed homeplates would work grea

Hi So Steve, I must have missed something from your last subject topic. "solder fillet peeling" Are you saying you or they, Ultrasonic Clean for 20 to 30 minutes after soldering and that is suspected as causing the cracking at the top of the compo

For selective soldered components, or even hand soldered, with vertical bend components, the body of the component, in this case a resistor, is making contact with the surface of the PCB, making it impossibe to visually see the solder fillet. Or to d

Q1: Industry standard detailing solder joint quality? A1: ANSI/J-STD-001 - Requirements For Soldered Electrical & Electronis Assemblies is the mutha of industry standard detailing solder joint quality.

You should see a coarse silverish / grayish coat on the termination that indicates that it soldered. We have to opinion [don't know] about the strength of solder connection versus the strength of component terminations.

We think if you follow your suppliers instructions, you should be OK. Why not have your quality people rip a couple of the soldered heat sinks from the board to assure themselves that your soldering process is adequate? Give them a pair of pliers a

Thanks Dave! What level of voiding is acceptable? Would you please let me know if there is an EIA or other industry standard detailing solder joint quality? I will begin researching the background information you provided. Thanks again for your kin
