I wish I knew where Mr. Fastek worked so I could contact his customer base to tell them his company may not be here in 6 months. I don't know where you get your information but you are reckless with it. These forums should be based on experiences a

I�d appreciate assistance in trying to resolve a placement/soldering problem. My company has designed a board which uses a large number of 0402 LED�s that are .028� high. The LED�s need to be soldered so that they point straight up and are not til

Pardon the cross-post from the design board....I thought maybe I should query both populations. Is anyone out there aware of any standard or even a section of a standard that specifically addresses design guidelines for two-sided assemblies, particu

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

Like Mark, I'm guessing your problem is with SMT parts on the top side, the solder is re-melting and some of the parts are moving around during when the board is being wave soldered. When I had some training on thru hole wave soldering way back when

We produce several boards with reflowed components on top and bottom. We are finding the solder has wetted to the leads but did not flow completely to the end of the lands. Several factors/causes?: 1) Board warping but paste deposits look good. 2) Mo

I�m not clear on the problem. What I get: * Your fabricator did not deliver the product that you asked for in your purchase order. * Pad. Land. A portion of a conductive pattern used as a termination area. Metal surrounding a hole on a printed ci

Hi Richard My experience with R.O.S.E. testers has been positive with regard to detecting ionic contamination (even exceptionally low levels). As previously mentioned, a good R.O.S.E tester will be able to detect minuet levels of ionic contaminatio

Hi I thought I would come back to this one for a second. Joe Fox above gave a nice concise note as to why you must raise the temp high enough above the soldering melting temp (liquidus) yet not too high. You want to go high enough for paste so tha

Hi The best I can figure Mike did a good job explaining some things, and hawked his own company's expertese very very well. He really did nice and worked the weave very well. He gave his number only after lots of info, which is different from some o
