| | I am looking for advice or information from anyone about the possible reliability problems associated with epoxy on solder pads of discrete devices. Will the epoxy expand and lift over time, Will there be adverse reaction between the solder and t

I am fairly new to wave soldering and production processes, but I have been tasked with coming up with a calculation involving the shear strength of some through-hole leads. The leads are tinned copper and I suspect that tinning reduces the shear st

Wayne, I haven't seen anything indicating that Gold Immersion is necessary for lead free... However, it is my companies preferred finish for lead free assemblies. We've taken this stance for the following reasons: 1. Better solder quality on th

From our notes, the following is a series of snips from: "Copper Dissolution in Tin" LJ Turbini, PhD, adjunct faculty member, University of Toronto, Materials Science and Engineering, SMT 2/07 As the solder becomes molten, copper from the board diff

Only the manufacturer of this part can tell you if subjecting the entire assembly through reflow temps is okay. It is not a good assumption that "if a part can be hand soldered it can withstand reflow" there are many connectors/headers/buzzers/etc

Hello there, Please forgive the wildly-off-topic nature of this post. For a video documentary about radios in the 1920's, I'm looking for stock footage of modern PC board manufacture. (I'm a software engineer but doing this effort as a hobby). Th

We had a "Spring loaded" fixture that pulled the Flex tight and used loads of Board supports. There were pins that went through the Connectors holes and held the flex firm. We only had a few components so it was no problem. Lucky for us because the f

What affect does moisture have on sensitive components on a board as it waits for thru-hole assembly? Suppose I run a batch of boards today and the assembly dept won't be able to get to it til maybe a month from now, is it okay to just let the boards

| My company is looking for higher density for card layout. One suggestion has been locating active components packaged in SOT's and SOIC's on the B-side of the card. This in turn will require wave soldering of the above mentioned components. When I
