Good Morning Everyone, Could someone please tell me what the acceptable range is for HASL plating thickness. We have some raw boards with plating thicknesses ranging from 3-4 mils on a fine pitch QFP. We are expeiencing bridging at this location an

Hi,my master How to iron out such soldering bridge with below conditions: 1.The component(Harness)lead pitch is 2.0mm,the lead length is 3.2mm. 2.PCB width is 1.6mm.Pad size is 1.65mm.Its a single copper PCB 3.using spraying fluxer and no-clean fl

If the terms are connected electrically it does meet IPC bridging between "non common conductors" is the defect you should be fine, FYI, the .010" spacing is a violation of IPC 782 Russ

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg

From an operators stand point there really is no difference. I think what I work with now is a 7 zone and I have worked with 8 and 5 zone BTU ovens. The only difference I can really tell is on the 8 zone oven we had less bridging at the end. If you r

You're correct. It is curious. Possible angles to look at are: 1 WS609 loves moisture in the air. In high humidity shops, this paste hakes-on liquid. If this is the case, you should also see slumping, resulting in fine pitch bridging, and solder

I am using a 18 mil and below water soluble solder paste (89.5-25-80). I have never used this type of paste. The PCB has a fine pitch component of which I cannot prevent bridging. The paste coverage on the pad looks like it is slumping. It is not a n

I can't comment on 20 pitch TSOP, but wave soldering wider pitch parts require: * Orienting components with the leads perpendicular to the wave [moving parallel to the rails]. * Thieving [robbing] pads on trailing pads for the component. Search the

OK thanks. I had assumed that since the soldering was generally smooth and we were having no issues with bridges that the flux would be operating fine. But there really isn't much left to check so I'll get my profiler fixed (the thermocouple has been
