| Hi Folks: | | We've been having bridging problems on our fine-pitch QFP's, despite thorough inspection of paste height, volume, and placement accuracies....profiles look good also. | | The bridging is happening after coming out of reflow...one la

John: What�s the matter? Free gold � good thing for you, bad thing for your supplier. :^) Pre-tinning of gold plated leads is important to: � Prevent gold embrittlement of the solder joint � Determine if the leads are solderable prior to assembly (

Not sure how else to describe this. We've received some boards (1/2" x 3.5" x .0325" board built on panels of 24) with numerous resistors showing separation of the solder from the metallization at the top of the joint. There are 26 0805's on the bo

This is a snip from an ealier post here on SMTnet. Generally, solder pastes are comprised of: 90% solder powder, 5% flux, 4% solvents, and 1% activators [by weight]. Where: * Solder powder, when reflowed, is a metal bonding agent that mechanically
