First thing to try is get the solder connection hotter. 210*C is just not warm enough for the 'high' tin content of this connection. Second, it's disconcerning that you don't have good plating on the pad or the terminal. Why can't your board suppl

Yes, your "slice theory" is correct, but ask yourself "how many slices?" This is the trick. By adding "slice points", you increase the robustness of the image. At the same time, you add time to the scan. Not too much that it outweighs the benefits,

I know when I worked on a NASA site, anyone in the lab was given a free physical once a year. This way they could find out what employees were normally exposed to and could track any potential illnesses. What are the costs of a lawsuit when an empl

Given that the LED work properly after being touched-up and that you don't have problems with other components, you may not be wetting the LED termination solderability protection during your normal reflow. Use a profiler to check the temperature on

What was the original complaint? when you say solder wicked onto top of capacitor do you mean it was dewetted from the board and only on the cap? What type of device showed voiding? how bad was it 20%,50%? I have found that the paste type seems to

Takfire Questions are: * Why does your customer think the capacitor is the issue? [What are we thinking? Of course the capacitor is causing this voiding problem. What else could it be?] * What are the type, construction, end-cap material and plati
