Here is some thing that I wrote a while back on solder beading. First what is a Solder Bead? The term solder bead is used to differentiate it from solder balls. A solder bead is a solder ball but its location is normally constant unlike solder bal

| how to determine the optimum solder paste height ? Ray, This is a gross misconception within the industry. There is no optimum solder paste height, per say. The effectiveness of a solder joint should be quantified in volume. Use your process as

| | | | We are currently using a 65/35 solder for our wave process but are considering switching to a 63/37 for a substantial cost savings. No one here seems to know why we everused a 65/35 formulation in the first place. | | | | I understand 63/37 t

IPC-A-610D Section 5, shows a variety of photographs of: * Good lead-free solder connections * Lead-free soldering anomalies Hot Tear / Shrink Hole is one such anomaly. This shrinkage effect appears primarily on wave-soldered joints, but can also

What pitch? You can go 5 mil or even 6 mil stencils depending on your screen printer. Also what do you consider "less solder"? What defect are you having. Remember on a QFP you use the heel filet to determine proper solder joint - not the toe.

Yes, lead can promote fillet lift. In order to understand this defect you must begin looking at your lead frame mateials. some lead frames are more susceptable to this disorder. This is most likely a cte mismatch disorder. Lead contamination in

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

| Hello all, | | Been doing some comparisons on joints made using the soldering iron versus reflowed solder paste (on a QFP package). The difference is quite significant: the joints made by the soldering iron are inconsistent and in many cases not
