Splitting hairs, I expect SIR of all solderability protection, including OSP, to decrease after reflow. What�s more, I expect the SIR of all solderability protection to pretty much decrease over time. The �comb pattern� test specimens meet requirem

SCOTT- We do solderability testing for the electronics industry using a Multicore and Kester Wetting Balance testers. The standards we test to is IPC J-STD 002 for components and J-STD 003 for PCBs. There is also a system called SERA we co-developed

Wow, why all the anger? This gap you guys are talking about is measured as "G" in IPC/EIA J-STD-001 (Chunks was there, but she failed to read the fine print). And almost all parts that measure G follow Note 3 which states "Properly wetted fillet s

What methods do you guys use for maintaining lot and/or board traceability? When I worked in med. products, we used travelers that we recorded everything on, then serialized them at the end of the build. Not as effective as up front serialization,

Here is a nugget from the Data Sheet... Wave Soldering: Excess moisture on the PCB during soldering may lead to random solder balling and poor wetting of some solder joints. IT IS IMPORTANT that the flux solvent carrier (water) is fully evaporated a

Emmanuel, The discussion on what finish to use whether it be HASL, Immersion gold over nickel, Organic Solderability Preservatives, ect...... is still ongoing. This is not the only decision you need to make. Do you plan on Soldermask Defined Pads? Wh

Ok lets put it this way. If the PCB house used a high quality mask and properly applied it to a properly cleaned surface and properly cured it, then as Dave stated above there are only two things that can destroy it. Excessive heat and overly aggress

Does your top-side preheat NEED to be that high, and so high that you are exceeding the flux manufacturers' spec? If so, what is the reason? Top-side wetting? Are you measuring this temperature at the substrate or solder joint?

It is Solder Mask on Bare copper, The land finish is HASL as per MIL-PRF-55110G which accepts trace of HASL as acceptable. Wetting is acceptable. regards, R.Saravanan
