Best practice to validate the old - more than 5 year old parts

When I hear "pinholes" in solder connections, I think of two sources, depending on the situation, which can be either: + Entrapped air and process chemicals develop during reflow soldering to cause the pinholes in and around the intermetallic layer

Soldering Issue in Sensor component

Electronics Forum | Fri Dec 27 14:27:40 EST 2019 | slthomas

We switched to a REL0 T3 paste, Amtech LF-4300. It wets the castellations more consistently. I believe that in our case it was more of a plating wetting issue with the parts, but yours sounds more like a pcb finish or thermal issue. That larger pad

Fiducial - Pattern Matching vs Center search based on fiducial shape

Electronics Forum | Wed Apr 08 12:19:18 EDT 2020 | richardcargill

I'd have thought that centre search uses an algorithm to find the dead centre of a specified geometric shape. Pattern recognition basically has a picture of the area of the board selected and tries to match it with what the camera sees. ( so it doesn

advice on used PnP

One last question, can the FLX2011 pick up a negative fiducial, ie. a plated through hole? Some of my boards do not have traditional fiducials, so I pick up the location of a couple mointing holes. (It didn't address this in the documents.) Thanks

FLEXI-TERM Components

Electronics Forum | Tue Jan 19 19:41:09 EST 2021 | rgduval

Double check your p/n and your datasheet, and with your supplier. I had this happen one time, though it wasn't with flexi-term parts. Mine ended up being palladium plated end-caps (my buyer and receivers had all missed the applicable suffix issue o

Thanks for your reply. According to the manufacturer there isn't any palladium under the solderable coating on the chips...just nickel....i guess maybe the nickel is heavily oxidised. I have experienced the poor solubility (zero solubility at 210 deg

Do you use a FUJI NXTIII pick and place machine? I wonder if you are using W08c, or W08f feeder?

Electronics Forum | Mon Apr 25 13:58:16 EDT 2022 | kojotssss

Route differences you should read in user manuals from Fuji. As i know W08f types feederes comes from factory with magnetic Sub plate, for f type is it Standard equipment!

Ultimate Work Bench from a GSM

Electronics Forum | Fri Aug 12 05:24:35 EDT 2022 | ttheis

We recently parted out a GSM machine that we could not get operational. As parts came off of the machine it looked like the frame would make the world's strongest welding/work table. We stripped the frame bare and flipped it over instead of scrapping

There is a worning parts inside the coupler, if worn the coupler miss the accuracy. Second one is the offset mechnic which also can miss the accuracy. Offset mechanic is under the plate (next the operator door). Check it by hand to be stable and be m

Reflow soldering of lead-free components with leaded solder paste

Electronics Forum | Mon Feb 26 20:05:09 EST 2024 | alexv

Leaded solder is liquidus at 183C, 220C is max. Sounds to me your boards might be contaminated or the plating is poor and allows oxidation. Without seeing the boards or profile, I recommend you slow down your oven for a longer soak, to allow the acti
