Have you tried using Concoat MUST II solderability tester to test on the component terminal are of good solderability. Non-wetting may occur due to oxidation or contamination on component terminal. So for immediate response to you problems is to used

No suggestions, but we've also had problems with silver palladium. No wetting on reflow, when we tried handsoldering them, we could actually scrape off the whole finish and were left with a black unsolderable underground. It was just 1 reel, seems

Hi Gani, non-wettting issues can surely be resolved. At first, would appreciate if the following info could be shared. Do you supply just one PCBA product to this client or is the complaint towards one of the many products that you deliver? Also, doe

Well, everyone has provided good advice, but if you are looking for a wave flux that can provide much better dwell times and consistent wetting throughout the hole fill, without making adjustments to your production process, I suggest going with Senj

When you talk about 'poor wetting', 'dewett', 'no wets', etc.; are you seeing solder pulling back or away from the pad? Please describe the condition. Dewetting. The condition in the solder joint in which the liquid solder has not adhered intimate

I have read some threads about poor wetting on palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) coated components. I followed the suggestions, but I am still having a problem. The part is an 0603 chip type (Vishay varistor). The Process: solder paste is lead-free Alpha Met

Hi I manufacture ceramic parts that have a terminations that are palladium/platinum/silver or any combination of the 3. Termination Ink usually consists of 3 main parts the alloy, glass frit and binder. Binder is to help bind everything together whi

We've experienced this issue with SN100. A couple of things we've tried, all with varying levels of success: 1. Longer pre-heats. We use SN100 in a solder pot, and pre-heat the boards on our wave machine. This did have a positive effect, but I ne

Hi Dave, The paste applied to the board ends up on the tombstone. The pad has a thin covering of solder most of the time, this is why I think they call it a dewet. Occasionally the pad shows some areas of gold and very rarely are some pads not wet at
