O'Connor: IPC-A-610, section 12.4.4 SMT Soldering Anomolies - Nonwetting was added primarily to accomidate OSP boards. Heated flux is used to remove the 'lacguer'. So, you end-up with a copper colored border [or shadow] around the pads, where there

Most pre-reflow AOI systems today can easily keep up with production line beat rates. Pre or Post reflow AOI is the difference between process control vs. defect screening, in my opinion. Pre reflow repairs cost much less than post. Pre AOI is for

Well, first off now I'm just starting to believe that we are fracturing again. But here is some more input D1 ENIG? I would not have thought that they would be but as usual you are probably right. D2 Again I would have to agree about it should affe

Hi Chrissie, This might be old news to you but I just wanted to make sure that you are aware of all the implications of BGA rework relative to the control of moisture-sensitive components. For example, you need to keep track of the total exposure t

Hexacon sells the LevChek, it is a special tempered glass plate for checking a wave solder machine. They make different sizes, so you can get one that is close to the maximum width of your wave. They also have grid lines etched on them so you watch i

Rules of thumb :- 1. Never over flux - not necessary and waste's money. Never top flux neither 2. Top Board temp. around 70C - 105C or there about's pending what laminate you use. Obviously the more flux you apply the higher heat required/denser PC

Frank, Your initial question about temperature profiling is a critical point to a good wave solder process. Especially if you have a No Clean flux. As recommended by many in the thread above, get the Process Data Sheet for your flux (this is not the

I have come across a rash of failed assemblies that have 0805 capacitors and resistors, bottom side glued, wave soldered and washed. Trouble shooter reported touching up the solder joints on a few areas and the boards would pass test. I had a look a
