Unlike components where the solder paste has been reflow soldered, wave soldered components have an "infinite" amount of solder available to make a solder connection. If you have good solder flow, pad and component termination size are going to be b

Electronic devices required higher speed, I/O capability, and density to meet standard requirements. Automated robotic soldering solutions that meet the demands of applications are too challenging for hand soldering. Manual soldering, even with the m

Platitudes about soldering are: * People ARE NOT good at soldering. * Machines ARE good at soldering. You can purchase a good used wave soldering machine for $20k. * Training helps people to be better at soldering. * Your solder connections should

I agree. Poor soldering technique is the most straightward way of creating solder balls during hand soldering operations.

When you say "Displacement Soldering" do you mean selective soldering? Also known as spot soldering?

Intermetallic compounds [IMC]: * Form during the alloying process of some metals. In soldering these are Sn, Ni, Ag, Cu, Au. * Do not accept solder. * Increase in depth in logarithmic proportion to both time and temperature. [So during the solder

The main function of the test is to evaluate the solder mask. Basically you are testing three samples: #1 - No solder mask, #2 - solder mask without solder, and #3 solder mask with solder. The solder pot is used to apply solder to the patterns on O

Cold solder prior to properly performing a well designed drop test. Actually, "cold solder" means different things to different people. Two dull solder connection conditions are: * "Disturbed" solder joint: a solder joint that has an "angular face

Are you running individual point soldering on each component lead, of are you drawing lines with the solder fountain to increase the speed of the process? Could be that if you are drawing lines, coupled with the very low flux levels you say you are

Encounter solder ball crack after reflow, found the solder ball is out of shape after reflow, cross section view found that the solder mask opening is not good ( when we do comparason with diff. supplier substrate.) Does the solder mask shape will af
