Hi All, I was puzzled because of terrible blowholes in solder joints of gold plated odd-form components. I am very confused because all other components on the boards have perfect solder joints. Here are some process details: 1) Solder paste: N

Hi, We're using solder paste opposed to solder wire for hand soldering certain components. We are also using high temperature soldering irons with 450deg C tips as we are soldering onto aluminium (IMS) PCBs. The quantity of tips which we go through

Dear Alex, thanks for the machine link. And valuable feedback. We cant change the solder paste. Its a for defense and aerospace projects. Customer won't agree on it . We have major issue in ROL0 Flux classified solder paste. cannot go for aggress

I might be wrong since I don't know this piece of equipment but I think ROL might be a better measure. For 63/37 it used to be 20 ppm ROL (residual oxygen level) was about what you needed for a reflow oven. This is to take full advantage of all tha

For some, not all, hand assembly, we use additional flux. We use a flux pen in certain applications and liquid flux in other applications - you can't just say switch to a flux pen, it isn't always adequate. Most flux pens are ORL0 with very low sol

I don't suggest using Pd/Ag or Ag/Pd terminated components unless you are forced to use them. You often see a line of demarcation that suggests a poorly wetted solder joint. I have had bad experiences with Pd/Ag terminated capacitors. Even when so

Tnks Patrick, additional infos..... we are just playng with different NC solder wires L-F, the best results in terms of solderability (faster solder flowing, holes filling up) it seams are coming from an ROM1, as we know, according to J-STD-004, or

Hi everbody, I'm facing some soldering problems with a Diode (SMA) during wave soldering process. During this process almost all the time one of the component pads have no solder, according to the picture dsc000604 attached. Some considerations: * T
