I agree, that is not a gullwing lead in the normal sense but that doesn't address the failure. The wetting looks fine unless there is a problem under the lead, which is hard to tell since there is an obvious fracture. That appears to be the edge o

Can any one tell me what I would need to replace this yellow disc. I have another board that this part has burned up, and I need to find a replacement. The manufacturer is Buss, however I cannot find any information with the numbers printed on it. Th

Well yes except it's marked M1 on the PCB, suggesting it's exactly what it looks like, a metal oxide varistor or 'MOV' specifically one rated to 130VAC making the board itself an AC product that takes 110V input. To replace, find any 130v varistor o

I have design some PCBs but last time I met one problem they said missing the solder mask ...any one can give some suggestions why do some pcb manufacturers reject gerbers due to missing sodermask?

Can you describe the failure mode of the soldering defect, i.e., is it failing to meet the height requirement for a castellated termination due to not wetting of the component terminations, or not wetting the pads sufficiently, or....? We install a

We switched to a REL0 T3 paste, Amtech LF-4300. It wets the castellations more consistently. I believe that in our case it was more of a plating wetting issue with the parts, but yours sounds more like a pcb finish or thermal issue. That larger pad

Do you have clear picture show how it looks like solder open? And you can run DOE with TAL and soak time and peak temperature to see which factor is key, or non of them is key then you can try add some flux to see if better before change solder past

Let's stay away from the PCB and process for a while. This component is pre-tinned. What kind of solder? How is the component stored? I bet you that you can put just flux on the board and solder this part - have you tried? I think we should understan

This PCB model has been in production since 2018 and stopped production almost 1 year ago, now it has started production again and I found this problem. at the time of production in 2018 this problem did not occur. while the parameter settings do not

Pretty large solder-ball. Looks like it may have come from the ground pad since it's so large, in which case I would reduce the print coverage on the middle/ground pad and see how it works for you. You verified that these parts have the groundpad a
