Nitrogen gas and Tombstone defect

Electronics Forum | Tue Nov 29 14:57:45 EST 2011 | jlawson

Sorry on N2 and tombstone, many other aspects cause tombstones and n2 in itself does not cause tombstones. It can help make other bad variables tip over edge to cause tombstones more than with no N2. Get these right then N2 is not issue.

Hi What is the possible cause of non-wetting of solder paste to the gold land pad. What we observed in the surface of the non-wet pad is an organic FM, and using FTIR we found out that it is a flux. It is possible that the cause of non-wetting is

The last time I encountered dendrite growth, it was within a component package. I believe we were experiencing it within a crystal. The root cause was water intrusion during in line wash. The component was supposed to have been sealed and safe for
