Novemer 13, 2001, minutes from the JG-PP Lead-Free Solder project: http://www.jgpp.com/projects/lead_free_soldering/minutes/01novminutes.pdf It seems to me, that although everything was discussed before hand, it wound up being the "Let's do it and

I still think the best bet is probably an SMT pre-bake operation to ensure that there is no moisture in the board. Vapor pressure is usually the leading cause for delamination, so removing the source should significantly help out. Unfortuantely, pr

This sounds like sales-type teaser posting, but let's see what we get. When comparing convection to IR BGA rework stations, IR stations perform poorly when: * Evaluation board has no power and ground planes. Worst case PWB as IR energy from bottom h

A good solder connection with heavy ground plane requires: * Plenty of heat [Is the preheater located too far from the wave? Whenever you look at board temperature, there is a sharp decrease in temperature between the preheater and the wave.] * Conta

Funny, I just had this discussion on LinkedIn. Must be the season. It is always acceptable and preferably to profile every assembly, if you have the time, resources, and equipment to do it. That is the only way to get the most accurate information

Is that no solder on the left hand pins in the picture? If so, it could be a directional thing. Have you tried turning the board 90º or 180º from the current direction of travel? Not a huge fan of wave solder for SMT components personally, though,

Mydata machines are great for large back planes close to 23" wide. The foot print of the Mydata machines are concerning- being a "T" design it sacrifices floor space. Also, Mydata is not considered to be in the same classification (my opinion) of equ

You can use your x-ray inspection system to QC incoming multi-layer printed circuit boards. In particular you would want to insure drilling registration. A drilled, plated through hole, precipitously close to a ground plane can have , in time, copper

What workmanship standard are you working to? The IPC book has an allowance for boards with heatsinks or thermal masses that allow less than 75% barrel fill on through hole parts. I would suggest that you check your board layers and determine if yo
