Hi Murad, like with many other questions it�s hard to judge without seeing the effect. Assuming that this site you�re talking about is well equiped with knowledge and that they handle their processes normally to everybody�s satisfaction it�s obvious

| Hi, | We have encountered de-wetting issues with gold plated components( SMT LEDs ). | The problem comes and go and we yet to locate the root cause ( process, component or solder paste etc ). | The rest of the components on the boards are not havi

Hi O'Conner, I hope you also tell us what Universal-GeorgeW discusses with you. It is a little strange seeing his name on this list and his phone number. Gee I can give you his email address but won't.. Again distance engineering is tough. I woul

O'Connor: IPC-A-610, section 12.4.4 SMT Soldering Anomolies - Nonwetting was added primarily to accomidate OSP boards. Heated flux is used to remove the 'lacguer'. So, you end-up with a copper colored border [or shadow] around the pads, where there

Amol, I thought I answered your question in another thread, dude! Anyway, to re-iterate. Yes, I was able to pull it off a hybrid profile. The LF BGA passed tensile testing, but no, it wasn't thermally cycled or stressed first to expose any latent

I am seeing poor quality solder joints, mostly on 0402 components. The problem is that while the pad on the pcb is getting fully wetted, the solder is not flowing up the sides of the 0402 component, i.e. the 0402 lead is somewhat de-wetting. The re

Heck, now I look up and see this is SMTdotNET. Do I get banned for asking a TH question? So here's my first real TH issue after living so long in the SMT world. We are having a sudden issue in what has been a stable process for quite some time. I

Hello Evtimov, sorry...just saw post as I was looking through list...a bit late. I don't know if you ever got your answer. IPC-4552A covers EniG finishes and suggested shelf life. I've referred to these doc's quite a bit. Good spec's ! Yes, I beli

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

Good morning Jamie. I work at a CM and can offer some input on process flexability. I do not have any data on how reliable the coating is but I can say that they are both very difficult to control. Will you be selective coating or full coating? Ho
