Transmission x-ray inspection is the technique most people are familiar with. Since materials will absorb or transmit x-rays as a function of their atomic number and thickness, the transmission x-ray image provides a two dimensional represenation of

Wow, what a string of answers and nobody brought up the easiest way to eliminate solder balls. Yes, the paste being squished under the part does reflow and work it's way out to the side during reflow. I did a 5 week study on this (when I was a bori

In brief, most companies have a board loader, a screen printer machine, various part placement machines (usually at least one chip shooter for small parts and one for fine pitch and larger components), and then a reflow oven. (inspection equipment i

I am not sure if I have seen an article comparing solder joint strength Vs pressfit although I am sure this has been researched by literally hundreds of companies before they felt comfortable going to pressfit. I know one of the issues with solder is

Hello Kris If you do have and OSP coating I'd say Curtis has nailed it. But you seem to have references to gold. Does this board have a standard nickle/gold finish. If so what sort of "solder on gold" problems were you having? Reading between the
