I just got back from a visit to our PCBA manufacturer. We have good flowthrough on the PTH, but solder skips and bridges on the SMT SO IC's. We have correct orientation and robber pads, but the results are still the same. I noticed the wave shape is

If the thermal mass of the products is small, a tent-shaped profile is recommended, with peak temperature around 240C. The hottest spot on board should be less than 250C. However, if the thermal mass of the product is large, such as a large server PC

| We will wave solder a board with SOIC14 and SOIC16 parts on the bottom. It has been difficult to find any specific wave solder process recommendations from manufacturers of the SOICs. The pad geometry utilizes theiving pads on both sides to reduce

That is all a lot to take in, but thank you all for the recommendations. From what I understand, I'm going to start by ordering a new polished 0.1mm stencil with size reduced apertures and seeing if reduced paste deposit will help. As for the sten

We went through this with one PBGA supplier recently and they were able to get the problem under control by fixing some of their molding processes that were inducing residual stresses. You can really see it in a thermal moire where you measure warpa

Hi, You don't need X-ray and all that crap. I would get an old MYDATA TP9 or something like that, and a manual stencil printer and a batch oven or a small inline oven. Should do the trick and be very low cost. Should be simple to use as well. Tha

You are looking for a complete SMT assembly line plus possible X-Ray inspection and rework equipment. The 3 components of the SMT line are stencil printer, pick-n-place machine and reflow oven. How small are your components? 0603? 0402? What is the

I have been advised recently about pcb manufacturers, that somehow or other supply pcb's with contamination. Visually they are fine, but problems arise during SMT manufacture, ie solder balling, non-wetting on pads, and also during wave solder proces

Hi Folks, I'm working on a LED display that is composed of multiple layers. What is interesting for the point of this discussion is the PCB layer and the light deflector layer on top of it. Please take a look at the related pictures at http://plus
