For Dean and the rest of you interested, I have reconciled many of my thermal issues with this machine and its peculiarities. The bottom side heater seems adequate, at 750 watts (not going to spend 10 grand extra for 500 more watts no matter what) a

Can you please decrease the ramp rate of your reflow profile?In my opion,if you heat the pin too fast,the solder will drop for the gravity and the cappilary force can't draw it back.On the row with much heatsink,this issue won't happen,that's the rea

Yes solder is reflowing on the pad but doesnt wick up the lead. Solder paste is sufficient. It just forms a saddle like appearance beneath the failing lead. The failed lead doesnt get reflowed at all. What puzzles me is how can hundreds of leads wet

Strange as we have had huge problems with Silver in Many different Assembly houses. Mainly with Nitric Acid based Silvers causing blow holes, non wetting and even the Nitric etching away the tracks on fine boards. It has been one of the main problem

Hi Dback, Yes, i'm open "dog bone" aperture for my chip component. this is to prevent solder ball issue. For fine pitch i'm opening square with full length and half width to prevent bridging. Btw, if "dog bone" is not for chip component, what is your

Hi all good morning and need advice from expertise here. One of my customer complain that they have constantly issues with one of their product and ask us to do cross section.The report show there was “no wetting to the PCB copper pad” and cause the

You should be fine! best practice for a situation like this would be to run a solder sample, either flux it and run through wave, or screen print, don't place parts and run through reflow. look for proper wetting characteristics if you see de-wetting

PCB, What is telling you that you have cold solder? You do not give much info. My QA/QC love this term to describe a multiple of issues. They are usally very wrong. If this is a reflow process and it just affects one part? An SSOP is not likley t

I have been advised recently about pcb manufacturers, that somehow or other supply pcb's with contamination. Visually they are fine, but problems arise during SMT manufacture, ie solder balling, non-wetting on pads, and also during wave solder proces
