Incomplete reflow

The 237*C is under the inductor with aTAL of 48s. I worked on the profiles this morning an got the max temp up a few degrees and the TAL to 62s. I will check the body temp of the Elec caps. The rest of the board has a max temp of 247. Thanks Gm

Gary, We are missing something here. I see no evidence of reflow at all. If you have a thermo couple under the inductor, 237 deg with a TAL of 48 seconds should work all day long.(even though it may be on lower end of process window) SAC melts at 21

I drilled a small hole from the other side in order to get my thermocouple under the inductor pad. I did not have anything on hand to fill the hole, so I covered with kapton tape the best I could. I suspect that is why it looks like it should work.

chip components (i.e. inductor, capacitor & resistor) more than 2 years from packaging can still be used??

I have not seen expiration date on parts so far. I have seen people uses 10 year old parts too as long as it solders good.

Need to indentify a component

It's hard to say. My guess is it's a cap or inductor. Have you tried measuring it? Is it me, or does this part appear to have a transparent package? It could be the flux I'm seeing.

How passive components work

Passive components are the one's that don't gain power on the output. The one's that do are called active components. Diodes, resistors, caps and inductors are examples of passive. Transistor is active component.

potting the board with epoxy will make it non repairable the same insulation effect you would achieve if you just put around the inductors some styrofoam or other sound insulator without messing with epoxy

Component Skew during Reflow Process

hi Team, observed component skew during reflow process. Inductor location. I have attached the image for the same. Please provide your valuable feedback. Attached are the images for the same. Its SAC305 alloy , R0L1 flux chemistry. Regards, Am

You'll be searching for a while... There's no way you can have that large of inductance in an 0805 package. You'd be hard-pressed to even have a 1mH in an 0805.

Inductor Skew

Molten metal has a high surface tension. If the pads are uneven you can have uneven forces. Decades ago if part were not placed exactly right, they would come out of the oven centered. (or tombstoned)
