we manufacture a range of ceramic parts that have silver termination,there is already a small leaching problem (absorption of the termination by the solder in liquid form)with Sn62 that we live with, having to implement unleaded solder they are norma

I observed some black dot or some oxidation occured on chip termination on pcba reflowed fews weeks ago as buffer stock. The solder joint and fillet wetting is good and shinning. It is an acceptable or defect condition per IPC standard/requirement? W

CRITICAL DILEMA! Has anyone run into the problem described below and if so, what was the fix (besides not dealing with this Supplier)? Also, we do not have component manufacturing process experience. We are purchasing a surge resistor that function

That is a tough situation and a tough answer for us SMT forum participants. After all, most of us are in the business of placing and soldering components to circuit boards, and you know the saying; you can't make solder joints with an unsolderable su

Slaine, We use a Pd/Ag thickfilm paste. Because of the leaching we had to start using solder pastes that have silver in it. For RoHS, we are using a solder paste with an alloy of Sn95/Ag05. We also have to double print the thickfilm pastes. I h

Could you direct me to a Standard or Study that has used this termination with 67/37 tin/lead solder please? I am looking for the recommended reflow temperature requirements and reliability issues for the completed product. We are receiving this type

There a number of studies like this published by component fabricators. Many can be found on the net. For instance: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/Pb-free_Board-level_reliability_study.pdf

Have you confirmed in an SEM that the break is in the solder and not in the termination? If not in the termination, is it in the intermetallic rather than the bulk solder? It's unusual for the break to be in the solder joint when chips are knocked

Tombstoning 0805s w/palladium/platinum/silver terminations We are experiencing tombstoning problems on 0805 packages that have paladium/platinum/silver terminations. It comes & goes...... I�ve checked the reflow profile, and paste deposition and a

Since side fillets are not a requirement for QFNs/BTCs due to some packages not having wettable side terminations, how does one determine if the side terminations are actually solderable/designed for wetting? Is it simply if the side terminations
