All, I am having a problem with joints being soft after SMT. Especially 25 mil and smaller parts. It seems as though you can slide the leads right off of the solder. It takes only about 30-40 oz. of compression at 45 deg. to move leads off of join

Jerry, In our house we generally run a glue bottom last but people do it both ways. Our logic revolves around protecting components from being knocked off the board during handling and processing prior to wave solder (this is most important with sm

We are deeply involved with this question because we have developed a much faster way to remove moisture from PCB's. PCB's absorb varying amounts of moisture at differing rates. The rate is influenced by the laminate type board configuration , loca

Nick, I've run this flux for a while and it's not too bad. There is a tendancy for there to be residue left on the PCB after wave due to the solid's content but it can be minised by putting some effort into setting up your spray fluxer to an optimum

Bryan, 0402's tombstonning isn't that uncommon and usually the 1st reaction is alway's the pad size aint right. If you've followed the IPC guidline's normally you should be fine but I'd double check the component supplier's spec's as well. brian's p

| I need your help! We have been doing double sided surface mount for 4 years now. Up until 6 months ago I have not had a tombstoning problem. Since then I have a fairly high incidence rate of tombstones on the 0603 size resistors (no other parts).
