The toes of leaded devices are problematic in fillet formation. A lot of the time they have the copper from the lead exposed so it becomes oxidized and won't readily take solder. Normally this is of no concern if the heel and side fillets are forme

We have run not AgPd [that we know of]. We can comment on PdNi. [But you're probably have Ni under the AgPd] In general, palladium solution rate is much slower than other sacrificial finish materials that we use for the purpose. The key then is to

I have read some threads about poor wetting on palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) coated components. I followed the suggestions, but I am still having a problem. The part is an 0603 chip type (Vishay varistor). The Process: solder paste is lead-free Alpha Met

Hi Ray, A couple of things to look into: 1.date code of reel 2. what is the termination made up of tin/lead or tin/lead/palladium. Check with part manufacturer. 3.paste volume/aperture openings 4.PCB plating 5.solder paste formulation Good luck R

I was approached by the comp. suplier to change the capacitors that I currently used. No change in elect. charateristic, but only on : a) change of palladium to nickel base inner electrode b) outer electrode material i.e. from silver to copper. Que

You're correct that the Ni/Pd termination seems to have something to do with you solder balling. It could be related to the interaction between your paste and the Pd. I assume these are really 'fines' rather than 'balls'. Things that come to mind a

Can anyone help me with a problem I am encountering on specifying the surface finish on a new BGA System in Package module. So far I have been advised to look at a palladium / nickel / gold solution but does that have any advantages over nickel / gol

Hi, I am trying to assemble a LTCC component with Pd/Ag surface finish on to Sn/Pb/Ag solder and Sn/Ag/Cu solder. I am passing it through a reflow. I have observed poor wettability at the solder-pad joint. Does anyone have information regarding th
