Hi I will like to know what do you think about cleaning hand solder, my employee spend about 25% of they time to brush they hand solder with teddy pen cleaner, we used no clean solder wire. It�s not been the first time that I try to eliminate those c

Q1. What would you recommend for the best practice or comparison? A1. We'd go with dip & look. It's easy and cheap, requires no advanced degrees in measurology. Have you reviewed "J-STD-002B - Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lu

I dont know about analysis on boards it is OK as long as the people carrying it out know how to interogate the answers.I worked on a problem just last week where an analysis house in China tested the resist then the pads and found on both surfaces C

I have tried covering the vias with thermal tape and that did not work. I like the idea of plugging the via with a temporary solder mask. I will try that the next time I build a fixture which should be tomorrow. This is mainly a problem only becau

Thank you for the links. I didn't know that there are companys that build test systems for ultrasonic inspection. My idea was to use a ultrasonic detector similar to crack inspection, for example to detect if the cooling pad is melted, or a solder jo

We are in the process of changing over our wave solder flux from alcohol based no clean to VOC free water based no clean. We are running an old Eletrovert with foam fluxer, tin lead solder. After preliminary testing on scrap boards and now starting t

I forgot to add that we are using a 3 mil stencil. It seems like to me that may be there isn't enough flux left when we reach liquidous?? About half of the solder spheres do melt and wet on each pad, but the top half of each solder joint is just the
