I have an adhesive dispenser in my workcenter but I rarely use it. I've replaced this process with wavesolder pallets for bottom side PTH soldering, ocassionally gluing parts left exposed by the pallet. So I was thinking of selling the dispensing equ

Hi Jacky, It seems you have solder bead problem, beading occurs when the solder paste brick splatter as a component is placed into it, after reflow, the splatter becomes a spherical solder ball. Hope this will help. Steve USA STENCILS

Any one have any experience on solder fillet problem on 0603 chip capacitor ? The phenomenon is solder wetting on one terminal is very good and totally no solder wetting on the other terminal. The positing of capacitor is right at the centre of the

Marcin, Think outside the box. If you are glueing the SMT part down, why not have an aperture cut in your stencil (or recut a stencil) between the SMT part and thru-hole. Wave solder hates SMT glue. This will get rid of your solder short problem

I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE MANY REASONS FOR TOMBSTONING COMPONENTS IS MOISTURE IN SOLDER PASTE. ONE WAY TO CONFIRM THIS IS TO CHECK FOR EXCESIVE SOLDER BALLS AROUND THE PART IF THEY ARE PRESENT THEN YOU MAY HAVE A HUMIDITY PROBLEM. GOOD LUCK!!! JAKE

Jacky, we have had a similar problem. We needed to go to a smaller nozzle and also check your vacuume system and air kiss.Could be after placement when the machine blows air to insure the part is off the nozzle that it is effecting the solder brick.

Hi All, Recently, we encountered strange defect at our SMT line. We can see solder ball spatter around at one of the component pad. This lead to insufficient solder defect at 1 side of the component. The other side of the component look good(Meet

Hi All, Can someone please help, I have a number of tall surface mount components that according to IPC 610 (8.2.2.3) are a fail due to the end termination not wetting at least 0.5mm + solder height. The components are very well soldered but the sol

Ellaborating on Evtimov's answer: - solder paste type, think about solder granulation and viscosity. Both of these will directly affect print quality if wrong print parameters used. You will normally find recommended print parameters on the solder pa

For the problem part, describe the pads on the board and the aperatures on the stencil.
