Yes, components do contribute to the non wets in fine pitch reflow. Oxidation is the main culprit. May ask where it is coming from. Can not say in particular. May be burn in test process or end of line baking, hot / cold testing and need to run DOE'

Hi, blow holes / pin holes / holes in joints are usually a sign that there is excess moisture somewhere around the solder joint. Moisture can be in pcbs / components, so try drying them....a simple thing to do is pass a bare pcb throught your reflow

Hi, We had a similar issue to this. When we examined the boards at x-ray there were no apparent defects, We sent the boards for Dye and pry testing and we found that there were crack or gaps between the paste on the PCB and the BGA ball. basically th

Hello, I am having a problem with HASL PCB's after it comes back from the stuffer. To me it looks like oxidation and it causes poor wetting. This leads to a bunch of problems all of which have different symptoms but the cause is this oxidation proble

Hello, we use an oven to dry our MSL components after the floor lifes expires. The oven works at 40°C / 0.1% RH. The plan is to upgrade the oven from 40°C to 60°C to shorten the duration of the process. I have found a number of articles mentioning

First question I have for you is: Are you assuming that standard precautions are in place at your facility to minimize moisture content i.e. air- deionizers, vacuum sealed packaging, humidity control in storage and manufacturing? You do not mention

Dear sir, I have a problem to find the new chemical solution instead IPA(isopropyl alcohol) to eliminate contamination on the test pin socket board made from copper that plate with nickle and gold. And after the often testing IC process, the co

The surface tension of solder you mentioned should be referred to as interfacial tension between solder and flux. According to Antonow�s rule, the interfacial tension is the difference in surface tension of molten solder and liquid flux. Since flux a

Just talked to my component engineer. We use the B parts also, and apparently the B suffix indicates compatibility with wave or reflow applications, X is for reflow only. Since we only reflow these parts, sounds like that might be the best route fo

So, how do you know it's "oxidation"? If the parts didn't solder, why aren't the parts the problem? Do the parts take-on solder? Please describe: * Appearance of the post-solder components. * Scope and extent of the problem. * Appearance of the po
