It is my understanding that per IPC specs toe fillets are not required as they do not add any strength to a solder connection. Our thoughts were allways that proper toe fillets are a sign of a good process. What are some of your guidelines and though

Terry, I use a VItechnology AOI and I'm very happy with it. I find the software to be very flexible. You will realize how much components vary from one manufacturer to another, so flexibility is important. The Omron machines are good at solder

Kris, I assume with voids you mean acceptable solder coverage of pad and lead. As Dave mentioned I also have not seen any specific studies on voids, but workman ship standards exist about acceptable coverage of pad and lead (both consumer and MIL)

I believe this is the only system on the market place and was developed by Panasonic in Japan with Malcolm. As stated it does check a limited number of elements but that was its intention when produced. I believe that only high volume shops would u

Not as such. Choices are: 1 Cut and epoxy some board foil from your board fabricator. 2 Sacrifice part a pad repair kits from the likes of: * Engineering Lab 905-785-1982 * Circuit Technology Center 978-374-5000 * General assembly suppliers catalog

I have done acurate profiling which meets the solder paste specifications. The point I am trying to highlight here is also due to the ground plane side being much larger causing the tombstone defect. I have even tried doing a linear profile, it hel

Some temporary solder masks outgas ammonia as they cure. It's possible that the first side cured and out gassed through the grounding hole. But when the second side cured, it outgassed between the board and the coating and in so doing reacted with

Hello to all of you, I'm running some small pcb's about 2.5x3.5 inches, can somebody tell me the zone temps and speed in meters/min that I have to use to get the best solder paste shine and best quality, is an oven of 8 zones. I apreciate your suppor
