Typically - hand soldering as you are currently doing. Should your volume justify it you can invest in a selective soldering solution, these might take the form of a robotic arm that essentially replicates manual soldering or a solder jet similar to

black and grey pad

Electronics Forum | Sat Oct 06 05:33:47 EDT 2001 | spchua

I had recently encounter the "black and grey" pads problems for the BGA pad after the convection re-flow. The pads shows in in "black and grey" color and a litter solder in it, and it happen in ramdom, when applied heat and solder on the "black and g

Solder and flux

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 22 17:23:35 EDT 2002 | Yannick

Hi, I wondering if someone know the anwser to that. I'm using a solder paste 63/37 and on the solder joint we have a tiny little layer or flux who is like crystalin. I try to play with my profile the get it off but I don't get much success. So D

Imm Silver and Voiding

Electronics Forum | Thu Jun 22 17:47:05 EDT 2006 | davef

First, we expect voiding in imm silver to be similar to ENIG. We expect more voiding in OSP than other common solderability protection. Second, choosing a solder paste, which does not contain resins and activators that decompose at higher temperatu

Solder Balls and Humidity

Electronics Forum | Fri Aug 24 11:03:15 EDT 2007 | hussman

I agree with Joris. But to add to his comment, the type of finish also has a direct affect to your wave solder process. Going from a gloss finish to a matte finish may help a lot. As for humidity affecting your wave - I doubt it. I use a water

Gold and Palladium Plating

Electronics Forum | Fri May 17 10:53:15 EDT 2013 | davef

ENEPIG or Imm Pd? Concerns about palladium as a solderability protection are: * Palladium is more difficult to process in fab than gold * Palladium solder alloys can be brittle, similar to gold, without proper soldering process and/or specification/

Solder Paste and Stencils

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 12 10:24:50 EDT 1999 | Jose RG

Hi, We are in the way to evaluate different solder pastes, improve our solder paste incoming inspection steps, re-define our stencil requirements and the following questions are open. Two questions, 1- Is anybody using/requiring 1000 Kcps or more

Flux Designations and Composition

Electronics Forum | Tue Jun 29 14:42:55 EDT 2004 | davef

You're correct, for every dumpster full of paper written about solder, there's a sentance written about fluxes. There's dribs and drabs about fluxes in most of the soldering books [ie, Manko, Klein-Wassink, Judd, Strauss, etc] and most of that is ve

SERA and ROSA

Electronics Forum | Fri Nov 05 16:00:22 EST 1999 | Jeff Kennedy

Anyone have information on the ROSA Technique? It is a derivative of the SERA analysis for solder-ability on pads, (they are not italian sisters)I belive the techniques were developed by Rockwell and Motorola. thanks in advance. JKK

Reduced Oxide Soldering Activation is an electrochemical method of restoring the solderability of surfaces. Searching the archives of IPC technet and this forum will reveal more details. John Thorup
