Hi, I am experiencing cracked solder joints on ceramic resonators after the ultrasonic plastic weld process. PCB assy is placed into plastic housing and then housing halves are ultrasonic welded. Not a soldering problem. I know this component is

Thank you for the links. I didn't know that there are companys that build test systems for ultrasonic inspection. My idea was to use a ultrasonic detector similar to crack inspection, for example to detect if the cooling pad is melted, or a solder jo

What kind of cleaning method you recommend for PCB - double side SMD (fine pitch and BGA components) and THT elements (PCB are for microwave application!!). Process technology no-clean.We have to remove grease-fingerprints, dust etc. It is low volume

Pete C Thank you for answer. Yes we have to remove solder flux so we need chemistry for no-clean flux residue. What kind of damage can i expact from ultrasonics device? you said damage IC and clock types?. We have all components in solid encapsulat

The potting definitely is a factor in fracturing the grainy joints, but does not seem to damage a "good" solder joint.

Hello Does somebody of you have some experiences with ultrasonic detectors in SMT-Production? Is it possible to test quality of solder joints by using a ultrasonic detector similar to non destrucitve crack inspection tests? Is there a manufacturer fo

We are about to purchas a new cleaning machine for stencils & miss print and we are considering an ultrasonic one. Can someone light this point for me? What are the advantages / disadvantages of this method? How it effect the components and their sol

Guo: You want to know: 1 Can I use water as the solvent in an ultrasonic machine to remove solder paste from PCB? Continuing from Jason�s comments: Sure you can use water as the solvent to remove solder paste from PCB, but recognize that some flu

We have been having problems with solder paste balls around fine pitch ICs and have decided that cleaning the boards in an ultra sonic cleaner may reomove these solder balls. However we are worried that the ultrasonic cleaning process may damage the

First, it is very difficult to properly clean under devices like yours. Second, your ultrasonic cleaner should not be damaging or loosening encapsulated components. It sounds like: * Cleaner is not of the proper type for cleaning electrics. * Cle
