Faster Reflow?

Electronics Forum | Mon May 24 23:38:17 EDT 2021 | SMTA-64387687

What about dispensing SMT epoxy (cures at much lower temperatures, than solder reflow), p+p components, run through the oven to cure, and using a laser selective solder robot to solder the pads?

LGA component rework process on SRT machine

Hi All, Do you have any experience for LGA component rework on SRT equipment? Please share how to re-soldering the LGA component to PCB pads. Thanks

Yes, we soldered some Mil-Max pins on a functional test board before. Utter nightmare. We managed to finally get them on, but yes, terrible wetting, and they act as total thermal sinks. Make sure to oversize you pads.

To measure two 0201 pads, you need to solder two thermocouples for each component pin on different segments. Thermocouple wire should be 36AWG.

Wave Solder-Pallet

Hello I have a situation here. I am wanting to get wave pallet, but I have a TH component that is too close to the SMT pads looking at @.020" it should be .100" min. If I get a pallet will it not wet that TH component or will it work? Any R

Solder Coverage in Non ROHS Paste

Electronics Forum | Mon Dec 06 18:28:24 EST 2021 | emeto

What is your current paste coverage? You mentioned windowpane and you mentioned 5mil stencil. You did not mention if PAD design meets recommendation? If it does, go 6mil and more paste coverage to increase volume.

Solder Coverage in Non ROHS Paste

Hi DucHoang, Thanks for your response - Understanding that OSP will have more surface resistivity which does not allows the solder to flow on the entire pads. Let me check peak & revert back sooner.

Hello Jinesh , if you can provide us with component datasheet , stencil design vs PAD design (GBX) and the thermal profil you use.. It would help us to found out the issue and help you.

For me it seems that the board is already assembled & soldered. Before assembling the board had been (poorly) washed (misprint perhaps) and the spots are just melted solder paste. Aren't those solder balls in the grooves between the pads and solder

"Manual washing" of a misprint board basically is smearing of printed solder paste all over the board. And trying to remove (wipe off) it afterwards. So for me it would not be any surprise that the solder paste ended up on the pads where it was not i
