| | Hello: | | BACKGROUD: SMT components soldered on the top-side of boards that also require wave soldering have the potential to reflow during wave soldering. Reflowing these components during wave soldering is not good. It can cause cold joints

Hi Anthony! Earl's right, things can get rather involved when you start discussing ALL the things that affect whether or not a board is going to warp. The way I look at the issue is try to separate the warp issue into two catagories; 1. The board bei

I have to agree with Steve. If the problem is progessively worse the problem is the pitch conversion that was used, and I have seen it before. It may be masked by the solder paste which could be on pitch but after reflow the paste wickes to the pad

| Thanks Steve- Here is the whole story: The solder balls are appearing all over, similar to a splatter. They are relatively small. We are using H-Technologies S-HQ no-clean solder paste. The stencil is 6 mil and the boards are running in a ABW

I know, I've read the "been there done that" stories about this subject, but I still profess ignorance on some aspects. We are using NPO type dialectric caps in potted high voltage assemblies and continue to experience catastrophic vailures. Upon

| The question raised by our components engineering group is, is it possible to tell whether these failures are thermally or mechanically induced. The focus of design engineering up until now has been on process. Are our reflow temps ok, are the pa

Hi ya' Mike! For low temperature baking, IPC-SM-786A (Procedures for Characterizing and Handling of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive IC's) specifies a low temperature bake that can be done in the component shipping packaging...ya' wanna remove the bubb
