Yes solder is reflowing on the pad but doesnt wick up the lead. Solder paste is sufficient. It just forms a saddle like appearance beneath the failing lead. The failed lead doesnt get reflowed at all. What puzzles me is how can hundreds of leads wet

Hi I found it's hard to attach thermocouple on profile board at fine pitch component by high temp solder. Does any one know the good way to do it? Thanks in advance. Dave

High temp solder is the best, but your profiler manufacturer will have some type of adhesive. I know KIC does.

That's your clue. Your reflow is running ~240*C and your soldering iron is running ~370*C. Dial-up the heat.

Check for coplaner leads if this just exists at reflow process, i.e. look at part before oven, turn on 3D at placement machine. If you see after wave solder, the wave could cause coplanarity issues on top as well if you are going slow enough to refl

I would also consider paste control (don't take it personally...I always have to get after people about this one), time on the stencil, time between print and reflow, solderability of the component leads, paste volume (that one really got us once....

No, there's not a really great epoxy product for attaching thermocouples in reflow. Specifically, what's your problem? From Sanders Temprobe verbage ... Adhesives There are two general classes of material commonly used to adhesive bond thermoc

We are having difficulty with bridging on a 2x50 pin 0.050" fine pitch connector using our selective soldering machine. It usually bridges at the end of the row, but sometimes it bridges all the pins together as it drags across (solid bridging). I

We are using our selective solder machine to solder a backplane with sixteen (16) 4x48 pin 0.080" connectors. Our first pass yield is about 85% meaning that 85% of the connectors come out with no bridges. Not quite as fine pitch as your connector a

Where I worked previously we had some boards with a couple 15 mil pitch parts. The first batch we got all had undersized pads. We had lots of bridging. We had less bridging with bigger pads. The ball size in the paste makes a bigger diffence regar
