The consequences of poor heel formation in solder connections include: * Lower solder joint strength * Possible intermittent short circuits * Reduced first-pass yields * Increased inspection cost * Increased rework cost * Likely field failures * Like

Suggest you ask vendor for a failure analysis. Ceramic chips have specific signatures for mechanical or thermal shock cracking. The vast majority of failures are due to mechanical flex. Depanelization and secondary operations such as hand insertion

Hi Reese, the contamination is coming from the material of the PCB itself. Basically, there`re failure observed in the products from electronics factory. preliminary analysis been done, the main board not properly functioning due to bad solder. next

Sam says, �The only question remaining to me is that why the failure happened after 48 hours instead of immediate failure after soldering.� Let�s recap: * Had good-looking solder flow. * Passed the initial electrical test. * Failed the later electri
