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

The best thing you can do is to clean the board that has a solder paste defect on it. If you don't you probably will have issues after reflow. This could include bridging, raised parts, or any number of issues. You need to remember that if you are re

When using AOI for through hole you can expect to be able to detect, depending upon whether inspecting from the solder side or the destination side: Polarity (if applies) Value (if marked) Presence (should be there) Non-Presence (should NOT be there)

Not exactly normal, I don't think. Though I have seen similar in the CM world. I can't think of a way to remove that overplating, either. If you can't reject the boards outright, then you might be looking at some touch up work, should bridging hap

In response to hegemon... This is not a recommended practice but..... We have added a few drops of water soluble flux to our water soluble solder paste when the paste is on the stencil. This was after the paste had "dried" out a bit. We have had

I successfully inspect solder on plcc's with angled cameras on the yestech we have. In the past I have successfully inspected for solder with angled cameras on mirtec machines for both plcc's and qfn's. Other than inspecting solder on those two types

My circuit board contains 11 x 11 matrix 1mm pitch BGA, The device was tested in socket on evaluation Board. We handed over the actual PCB & devices for re-flow. The assembly house first re-flowed all the SMT components other than BGA. BGA was placed

If the parts are hand placed and hand trimmed, why do you need to inspect whether the lead is in the hole. The operator should be inserting the part correctly. We have MIRTEC machines and they do a pixel comparison to "known good images". With a m

Using ERSA Ecoselect. I am curiuos to hear from other selective solder users as to what is the ideal lead lenght for your application on thru hole components. Shorter leads have helped us decrease solder bridges. We find ours to be from .75 mm to 1

Hello all, Some background. We have JUKI machines (FX2, KE2000's and KE3000's) We're looking into an issue with 0402's in close proximity to each other. The paste gets mashed into the paste from adjacent parts. Some have suggested I deviate from
