Steve, TI does not produce any SOTs using Palladium finish leadframes. I would certainly be interested to know who is. Also, your observations are correct: In TI experience the mechanical strength of the solder joints with Pd finish ICs is alw

That is a tough situation and a tough answer for us SMT forum participants. After all, most of us are in the business of placing and soldering components to circuit boards, and you know the saying; you can't make solder joints with an unsolderable su

Generally QC is a different deptpartment than touch-up people. Most touch-up people are just general operators, so to keep their job they always see the solder joint as "not enough". Q.C. people are generally a bit better, but know they may be call

Hi, I wondering if someone know the anwser to that. I'm using a solder paste 63/37 and on the solder joint we have a tiny little layer or flux who is like crystalin. I try to play with my profile the get it off but I don't get much success. So D

Krikies! seems like a head-scratcher if I may say so me-self. I would say the other ogre is right, that surface finish will play a big factor in your solder joint's grain structure or how shiney 'tis. Non-HASL bearing finishes will typicaly exhibit

On an assembly reflowed in air saw the same thing: 0201's with a grainular solder joint, but 0402's and above with perfectly formed joints. Reflow profile all within acceptable tolerances. Reflowing in nitrogen solves this problem, but increases t

That is very interesting... I am curious though, why wasn't a plain blind rivet used? You probably can, but personally, I would be not want a solder joint holding the frame and the pcb... Mechanical stress on solder joints often leads to not good re

Intermetallic compounds [IMC]: * Form during the alloying process of some metals. In soldering these are Sn, Ni, Ag, Cu, Au. * Do not accept solder. * Increase in depth in logarithmic proportion to both time and temperature. [So during the solder
