Russ is right. The pad in the middle needs to be soldered as well. Also, the ends of leads exposed are not plated as well, so you will never get a toe fillet. Drives our IPC experts nutty, or should I spell it "knutee"? I don�t know, I went to a

So, your scenario is: * Lead Free Solder Paste * Lead Free Reflow Profile * RoHS Components * Non-RoHS (Sn-Pb HASL plated)PCB If that's the case, you should be just fine running your Lead-Free process. There is literature on the topic of lead

We use hot air leveling (HAL) process in pcb production. HAL process is 3 steps. �n 1. step flux. 2. step is HAL. And 3. step is rinsing. As you know there is mustn't any flux after rinsing operation. Our flux chemical is water soluable. But there ar

I have a new customer that has a print calling for 2oz. copper finish for top and bottom layers, and 1oz. copper finish for the inner 6 layers. Now, they also have a stack up depicting each layer and thickness. It shows the outer layers of copper b

I am soldering a Germanium Window with a metalized rim to a Ni-Au plated kovar lid. The solder joint needs to be hermetic. I am using 80In solder washer shape preform, but am experiencing lots of voiding when x-rayed, although the joint is sealing.

Daxman, Have you eliminated nozzle variation? The difference between a new and used CP6 nozzle can be .15mm. On a CP4 I would think it could be more. On new Cp4 nozzles the difference in effective nozzle length should not be more than .04mm. You can

We're looking into a new profiler and potentially one of these wave rider tools. I found some old threads, but nothing very recent. We tried the Malcolm tool a long time ago, but we weren't very happy with it. I'm sure I can get a demo unit and co

You could probably put a 1/4" plate of steel over the aluminum and make some shorter magnet pins. I think the factory upgrade was $3500 to $4500. Its hard to justify the cost based on saving maybe 5 minutes a set-up for an operator. But your lines wi

I doubt it's the board house. Check the Laminate being used. When you find out that the laminate is IS410, search the forum for time and location for the next "RoHs Compliant PCB Delamination Support Group" Some of the locations are hard to find but
