Hi Ken, Thank you for the reply Ken. I hope I don�t get my behind in trouble for subject change in this thread. But you hit the nail on the head in your comment with Hitachi, when they converted to lead-free they had a �5 times higher defect rate� i

At reflow an inert atmosphere is used to mitigate the occurance of oxidation, to me the decision weather to move from an inert atmosphere is based on several things ; PCB surface finish - are you using a HASL finish, OSP or another surface finish and

Dear All, I am looking for a good wetting balance solderability tester. I hope this piece of equipment is maintence free, small dimension and robust. The most important is this equipment should comply with most of the industry test standard, like IP

Hello! We are having field failures due to cracking of the solder on our SMD micro switch components. I have been reading the IPC standards, and the only thing that it states regarding the solder profile/amount for Gull Wing component is "wetted fill

I have seen 100% Matte Tin plating and a lot of Sn/Ag/Cu plating for gull wing parts. This is the most common type of plating. Also in a lead free process you will see that the very end Toe of the part will not flow. This is due to the metal being cu

I've always approached it like this: Design your processes and perform your work to class three standards, and inspect to the standard that is acceptable. That is, all work should be performed to the highest degree of quality. When the work is ins

to summarize - 3 components are placed on a single module x 8 on pcb - 2 anodes & 1 cathode are infected (so no component for us) - the problem does not look like wetting problem as the component and land pad is wetted, but the paste is not complete
