Hi Again, In answer to DaveF - Yes solder is fine where the solder paste is deposited , but the part of the pad visible after pasting is still visible after reflow. Previously the solder paste & all the gold diffused & flowed giving a complete silve

Hi Yes DavidF I agree, and that is what I think I am reading in the orginal and follow on post from the poster. I think this problem is just below full failure to solder which was your point, I think. You, and I particularly, are taking opposing y

Hey Neat, We share some of the same books, although I would strongly recommend he expand his collection. That Flex book is only one, the most pricey one, of many on that technology. JUST Kidding THANKS!! If we started listing all our magazine, te

Hi As I got thinking about your problem, as you stated it, I am wondering if maybe we have some oxides or too thin of a Gold Immersion layer so that some of the underlying NI is being oxidized. The colorization that you described is what intriques m

I have seen this affect on Immersion Tin and OSP. 70 to 90 % of the solder wicks to the lead and forms a "single" homogenous solder mass. This even though the pad was 100 % covered with paste... Evaluated different solder paste...did find variatio

Just my opinion but it look's like your doing a great job. i would try another paste. I'm somewhat lucky that we get to use OA's. If your stuck using the no-cleans they are so tempermental. (The nitrogen is making up for the poor paste) Your de-wetti

Hey Bill, it really depends on the material you're looking at using UR, SR, AR, the easiest to deal with being AR, although if you can find a UR that doesn't clog up the machine too bad those are usually more viscous and easier to apply selectively u
