Typically, Sn/Pb solders are used to preserve solderability on leaded and leadless SMT components. Are other finishes (such as those used in PCB manufacturing e.g. Sn, NiAu, OSP's, etc.) frowned upon by PCB stuffers and their customers? I am intere

Hi folks! TI told us that we are the only one with the following problem... We discovered a really bad wetting characteristic of some SMD ICs from BurrBrown. At the moment: XTR106 / INA118 / ADS7844. After the reflow process we found out that this pa

We have 8 layer HASL PCB. We saw molten solder blobs / balls on op side of assembled PCB. (to check, if this was a bare board problem), We passed bare board as received thru, SMT reflow oven and saw solder balls on top side of board. What could be th

| first of all what is the technical term for the small amount of solder on a plated pad. we are getting poor screen printing gasketing on a 20 mil qfp due to this solder not being even or too high in spots and not covering the length of the pads. an

Hello Experts We ran into problem today when one of the board that we assembled having problem at Test, BGA failure. The joints looks good but no continuity. When trying to remove the BGA, i found that the pad on the PCB is intact but black in colou

We have found the same problem recently. Is there somewhere that I can post images to, for additional observational opinions.

Your customer forgot to apply solder paste to the PCB ?

My factory produces Printed Circuits Boards.Today, my customer says they encounter problem with solder ability issue. Some of the boards have difficulties during SMT solder flow. Could not stick to the pads and the components fell off. Those boards

Pads look WAY oversize for the LED leads. Perhaps the solder won't go to the LED because it is spreading across the pads on the PCB instead. The board pad vs. component lead size equation I see would make me expect some starvation of the joints at t
