Hi Folk's, a quick and easy? question. Got a card with PTH edge stiffeners fitted to it so we need to flow solder them. Having problems getting hole fill, mainly I think due to 2 things, poor pin to hole ratio and also a bit of oxide. The question i

what is the main concern about this reqirement? Why IPC-A-610c is revsised to this? IPC-A-610c said it is a defect.Solder touches the body of a plastic bodied component, eg SOICs and SOTs. But D version think it is acceptable. WHY? I thought "plasti

We use a great concensus document for inspection. It is: IPC-A-610C, Acceptability Of Electronic Assemblies as the basis for accepting assemblies. You can find it at IPC [http://www.ipc.org]. [Help!!!! I�m turning into an IPC Cal.] We find that m

Just a quick thought on solder balls "or beads" caused when using NC paste. I found a spec (12.4.10 in IPC-A-610C) that says solder beads are acceptable if they are entrapped in NC flux residue and can not be dislodged in the normal service environme

Assuming that you are talking about voids in solder connections: * Consider voids on the surface of your solder connection a defect. * Consider voids that you can't see to be a process indicator. See A-610C, 12.4.8 for authoritative guidance.

Can I have solder bridging two SM rectangular chip components due to misalignment? The bridging occurs at one end and is on a common trace between the two pads. The components are larger than the pad (side overhang) and are aligned rather perfectly w

I refer to IPC-A-610C, section 12.4.5, the defect term "dewetting". Can the experts pls help define the actual stages that constitute the formation of a dewetting defect? I do understand the common concept teachings that there may be contamination

Nope, we do not have solder beads, like we said, what we have are near perfect solder fillets except for the portion where the component is "floating OFF" the pcb pads. We are now mucking through the IPC-A-610C for specifications dictation on "tilted

Dear all, Recently our customer complaint that some components being came off from the pcba after dropping test.But the curious is, the leads show visible solder fillet covering more than 75% of termination area on pad, which is acceptable as per IP
