Chris: Thanks. SMTnet has a "Library." Buried deep within it is a listing of terms. The following is from that listing: Shadowing. When a component blocks the heat or solder wave flow from certain areas of the printed circuit board, resulting in

We have what appears to be a recurring problem. On immersion gold boards only, we are having solderability problems. After reflow, selected parts can be popped right off the board. There is then a dark haze left on the pad. The paste on the compon

Gentlemen, I too have been atacked by that "soldering to gold" and will add my 2 cents. I also had parts that would pop off the board when the fillet looked perfect. After lots of pain, experimentation, and sleepless nights, I solved it through a

| I'm reviewing my board fab spec. It calls for a minimum SnPb thickness of 50 microinches on HASL PWB's. I've looked at other specs that call out anything from 30 to 80 microinches, and others that just say the copper pad must be covered and solde

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 your supplier if he will guarantee to cover rework, warranty, and lost business costs, if he's incorrect. Below 2uinch gold is very pourous and not worth anything in preventing corrosion of your nickel undercoat. 3 uinch has to be the absolute
