Hi all, Has anyone any experience they can share with regard to pad dissolution on PTH's on thick boards. We are using lead free SAC305 on both OSP and Immersion silver finishes and are experiencing difficulties when removing and replacing connector

Hello Danial, Leave it up to most to blame the relow oven for their tombstoning problems when in fact it is usually the last to cause it. The biggest culprit of tombstoning is the pad design followed by the print quality. Usually, we find that the p

Jose: Those are good guesses. Without knowing more, ask yourself: 1 There is probably adequate heat available, but that portion of the substrate that�s not soldering well is not receiving proper heating. Why is the component getting so hot, relati

The Cpk collected by placement on glass boards and calibration has been done. All has been fine until we actually try on actual boards with printing. We have problems like insufficient solder due to closed aperture, improper flow of solder on the pad

Good afternoon, You should use overprint technique if you have any problems with paste volume (PIH technology and mixed designs, for instance). Otherwise, it is useless. Overprint has to be made in such way so that paste would have an ability to flo

Tony Although I agree in principle with Dean that 45 Degrees would be ideal, most of the squeegees I have worked with have been 60 Degrees to the stencil surface. This seems to work best with metal squeegees when printing HASL boards, because the sl

Recently we have expereinced solder issues with our reflow process. The issue is random and doesn't effect every assembly. I'm seeing extreme solder wicking, no solder flow onto the pads, only onto the leads of the components. I have tried to hand

I'm having a problem getting sufficient solder reflow on a SMD part. The board design (which can't be changed) is covered in ground planes that cause a lot of uneven heat distribution. I believe heat is wicking away from the culprit part, causing t

HI all. Recently we have been experiencing some PCB defects and so far it appears on a particular pcb. Components in areas, and the areas appears to be random, have shifted, skewed components. Most of these components, it appears the solder has flowe

Anyone, We are an electronic assembly contractor and one of our customer requires a 100% solder coverage on pads for their products. We are using flex pcb and we mount only one component (LED for backlight application). The solder paste we are u
