We've used both 1A33 urethane and 1B31 acrylic coating on our SMT assemblies with great success for many many years. This is with components of all shapes and sizes including a 9 ball micro-BGA. We apply the coating in every way imaginable and we hav

I think the oxidation on the pad happens easily but do not on Au plated pad.The reason may be caused by improper cleaning or Au plating thickness in plating process. But,before suspecting the pcb board, you need to check your process or used material

You won't have 2 mil height because the solder doesn't remain brick shaped. It's a dome. In the past I tried doing some calculations using the formula for the volume of a spherical section and also tried using a simulation program that accounts for

Hi, Regarding to thermocouple placement, you should use a precision thin drill. Drill through the bottom of the board to the top as follows: One hole in the center of the part, preferably into one of the center balls, if available. One hole into the

How to avoid /reduce warpage in long length PCB & > _1.6MM THICK PCB. You need to put it in a fixture or pallet to run it in the reflow oven, most common material use here is durostone for the pallets that we run in the reflow oven, we use Durosto

It seems because the soldering area is not enough, so the wetting force is small to hold the switch, remember >0.08g/mm2 for each part as in IPC standard. So, anyway, you need increase the soldering area to reduce weight/area number to below 0.08g

Hi Indhu, It could be multiple reasons but probably one root cause. metal nut might require reflow profile change- you need to check it with SMT reflow profiler. the part might be oxidized - you can check solderability or try to solder part using a

I also believe it is the cause of the issue. I guess you could make a fixture that clamps the board flat. Then you'd have to change the reflow recipe. How was the recipe created? Did you actually profile a populated board or just use a recipe that

Low Temp solder and a cooler profile should certainly help. I do believe that the unbalanced copper is the culprit, but you could try to prebake some boards. To eliminate some kind of manufacturing defect from the equation. Though I'm pretty sure i

Thank you all a but the easy fix - of correcting copper - is not an option -actually no changes to the board can be done simply they way it is.... I will look at post reflow bake above TG but I don't want to add a process.... Will look at profile als
