You say its in both smt and through hole, but, are you waving the SMT parts as well, I assume yes since you think its dross in the joints. Questions: 1- do you have higher mag scopes that you can zoom in a little more to see if these are voids or dr

Dumb question maybe but does the board have a layer count window? Usually each layer has it's number visible in copper somewhere on the board and the shop will leave the solder mask clear of this window. If the layers were stacked incorrectly it woul

Thanks DucHoang, One more favor. Will really appreciate if you can point us on how to figure out the number of patterns (number of offsets) from the VIOS file. Also we would like to know the feeder types represented by the numbers in the &F sectio

Hi, I think concept of inspection through AOI is changing. I am struck in confusion.Because some manufacturer say 3D inspection, with 1+4 cameras is ultimate solution. Orbotech also came with 13 cameras at once!Now some say, all these are eyewashing

Manjunath, I prefer orthogonal systems. In my experience they are actually better at detecting coplanarity and HIP defects than multi camera systems. They are obviously limited, in that they can not inspect a component under another component, b

Hi John, Our ERSA rework station came with a soldering iron that has a few special tips. We normally do not have a stencil and use tacky flux, so I use the concave tip to prep the pads. This leaves solder on the pads but with a little practice you

Hello, I produce two types of board. - 100% Thru Hole - 50% thru hole and 50% SMT For the second, I have a bad wetting after the reflow on the top. The pcb board have Au-Ni pad. I use a water soluble paste. I clean the board with a solution with

So for your SMT1/SMT2/PTH boards, you have poor solderability during SMT2. [Even if you have no SMT2 and only ST1/PTH, our answer is the same.] We assume this occurs on one board part number only. We guess that your bare boards have insufficient gol

Hi manchella, After ATC test, two different failure modes can be present: solder FATIGUE (into bulk) or BRITTLE INTERMETALLIC fracture. So, first you have to verify this. Moreover, which brand of SMT paste have you used ? The crack into solder joint
