Not to be off-topic, but push engineering for embedded passives and remove parts from the underside all together. Watch the material cost sky rocket, but watch the manufacturing cost sink and well as improve the production cycle by 50%. Sorry, I w

Hi Dave, The short answer is "not any significant amount" of moisture is removed during reflow. The temperature excursion is much too short. If you look at the physics of moisture diffusion inside a package you will see that only the surface moist

I know that the accepted (by some, although some say it may be too conservative) rule is anything less than or equal to 30 grams/square inch of surface contact area should stay on the bottom side during the second pass. How is that surface area meas

This may sound silly to ask, but does your oven have a center board support by chance? If so is it down when running the boards through the oven? I only ask this because we had the solenoid that operates that function (raise and lower) of the board

Jason, What Chrys said! Don't try to run the bottom cooler, tried it in the mid 80's, don't work and don't want it to work. If one side of a fab is maintained cooler than liquidus and the other side into reflow it would have an easy 40C temp diffe

"Use the pad mating to lead wetting area." If I get your drift, we're talking about the minimum lead area (assuming the pad has an area that's at least as large as the lead) required to be wetted by IPC-610. Hmmmm...that would take some calculation

After 2nd time reflow of double reflow, wrinkles solder joints found on SOIC and SOT components.(only happen on the components at the underside of pcb during reflow, top side components dont have this problem) is this due to the reflow process proble

Wrinkled like orange peel?

Hi! What exatly you do? Do you reflow the both sides of the board at the same time or you reflow your second side? I think in both cases you should decrease you bottom zones. If you reflow both sides - with 10-20C(F) If you reflow the second side - w

What kind of ict nail should we use when testing a board that does not go through wave solder? There is no dome shape for our nails to "bite" into, and we are having problems.
