I need teoretical info for theme "Matted surface vs solder ball". Is it right that some solder pastes decrease solder balling but give matted surface after reflow? That diference between these pastes and others? Are the matted surface worse solder b

Oooo, pix, coo!!! Yes, that solder connection has been beat-up. It is very �old�. So, your customer is seeing failures, correct? I can believe it. I want to say the solder in your connections doesn�t stand a chance, but lack experience in this a

Wow, you're very correct. I guess we use silicone to calibrate our machine, as follows: XPS spectral measurements of dimethyl silicone should include O(2s) at 25 eV, Si(2p) at 102 eV, Si(2s) at 153 eV, C(1s) at 285 eV, and O(1s) at 533 eV. The C(1s

Shear tests are [in my opinion] senseless. The shear stress you measure depends more on the shear rate and on the point where the force is applied than on the grain structure. When shearing a component, you not only apply shear stress, but also roll

Any one has experience over solder voids in oscillator capacitor joint could result in high phase noise during the digital performances test? The noise signal was gone after solder touch up. What could be the root cause of the high phase noise?

Hello everyone, after a short layoff I am glad to be back. I have a question. I have a button (snap button) that is being soldered to a strip of sac coated copper. We are questioning the joint strength of this from our vendor as we see these popping

Over-time lead separates from the tin in solder by force of nature [diffusion], but I assume that is not what you are talking about. Please help us understand your question better. Are you saying that the solder does not attach properly to the comp

Hi Bill You said, "silicon". We assume by your discussion that you ment to say, "silicone". For background on silicone and soldering, check with Dow Corning [517-496-6000]. They make a OS2 [VOC-free] silicone stripper and should be able to give y

I find this disturbing when customers dictate your process and equipment? Your responsibility is to deliver a quality product on time. Why would your customer care HOW you achieve this? Hence the success of Chinese manufacturing. I have one custo
