Copper teminations with no solderability protection on your LLP. Hmmm seems unusual, but it could be that the flux in your solder paste is not active enough to remove the corrosion on the Cu leads. OMG Microbond solder paste develops white residue

1. If I go to the Pb-free solder paste, is it necessary that I have to change my reflow oven OR just by changing with respect to solder paste specification, I can reach my goal? 2. What is the �Low- Temperature Phase� in any solder paste alloy? 3.W

Our SMT department uses Alpha Metals WS629 solder paste exclusively. Does anyone else use this paste and what do they think of it? I haven't evaluated other pastes yet and think that I'm sure there is something better out there. Feedback would be app

If you are, in fact, running a No-Clean solder paste: Different no-clean solder pastes will leave different types of (benign) residues. If your paste has been qualified from a Bellcore/SIR/Electromigration standpoint, any residues remaining will NO

For reflow, bump up your profile as hot as you can go as allowed by your paste manufacturer will allow. If you can change solder paste without too much red tape, several solder paste manufacturers make a transitional paste designed for mix of lead a

In the marketing description of your paste, look for "percent metal by volume." This percent metal by volume figure gives you a good approximation of the amount of metal in each solder paste brick that you print on your board. In most solder paste fo

For reflow soldering, you are correct ! The higher surface tension of the solder paste in nitrogen atmosphere can increase the number of solder bridges if the component or solder paste print is inaccurate. Another defect that might increase is tomb

I agreed not to ask the shelf life extension to the maker of solder paste. However, somtimes we have no chioce except using expired or used paste. When I have to, try the first PCB as a test. If Ok, just carry on other boards. Unless, use a new solde

What flux did you use when you soldered with the wire solder?

Dennis, The solder paste is responsible for holding the component in place pre-reflow. Several things to look at: Is the paste accurately printed on the pad? If not, there may not be enough of the component in contact with the paste to provide adiq
