The president of my former place of employment used a screw driver for his solder joint quality assessment. I recommend you keep yours calibrated and locked up, just to be safe.

I hear that. A 2002? You poor b-stard! That's like having cold solder joints! (Gotta keep it related)

Will clay, rock, and paper provide sufficient signal carrying capabilities without degrading signal strength or transmission speed, and further, will these materials exceed tensile strengths of traditional "metallurgical" solder joints? DaveF? Patr

It sounds like this part is floating on your solder joint during reflow. You may need to redesign your pad geometry. In general with this type of clip - smaller pads are better. If you cannotcahnge pad size, try changing the openings on your stenc

Hi, After reflow process we do Automatic inspection and after that direct to 5DX machine to check all the solder joints and we detected it at 5DX inspection. This card havent go to any testing.

What kind of AOI machine are you using? Some OEMs seem to not understand that we want to also check for correct parts with AOI not just absence/presence and solder joints. But markings are an issue. I remember when 0805 caps had markings.

Does any one know of digital scope that can hooked to a PC to aid the QC inspectors in inspecting the solder joints. We tried the pyroscope(http://www.theproscope.com/) and it didn't work well. Thanks

It has stopped all together. We did go thru and touch up the solder joints. It says it fails to initialize the CRT.

I use aluminum tape. Attach the thermocouple to the solder joint of a component. Use tape to hold down the wires so your thermocouple doesn't break free. Go to youtube and search "oven profile". There are some great "how to" videos there to help yo

I agree that Dage makes some excellent 3D (CAT) systems, but in our experience a high-resolution 2D system with tilt capability is usually better-suited for inspection of solder joints. Glenn Robertson Process Sciences
