I always look for a toe fillet if the design allows you to. Many times the pad design is close or exactly the size of the leads which makes people to touch it up right away. I told them hundred times not to but...Luckily I have 3D x-ray and I can tel

Do you have a picture? SMTNet HAS the technology now to post pictures. "Disturbed" to the typical Q.E. usually means grainy or dull, or a wrinkly solder appearance. All of this has to do with the "grain structure" of the solder joint. Here's a p

"Disturbed" usually means some form of movement. I would think your leads are moving due to warp as the board exits the reflow zone. Not knowing your profile, I would suggest checking your profile. Make sure you have adequate "above liquidous" and

Is anyone aware of any reports, studies, articles on the subject of silicon contamination in SnPb solder joints. We are evaluating repair of conformally coated (silicone) boards. The fear is that we will never totally remove the silicone and once i

We had the data at the time and it was quite high. More false calls then anything. I do not have the data anymore it since has been archived. When the system was introduced we had 1 engineer and 2 operators trained for programming and running the
