Sal, Silly question: Were the parts skewed before they went into the oven? I've chased down a few similar reflow problems in my lifetime, only to find out it was a pick and place problem. Wrong nozzle size, bad nozzle, feeder not advancing all

Chrys: I have checked all the basic elements of Wave solder joint formation: fluxing, preheating, and lastly soldering. For checking the fluxer, i used a product from ECD that's very similar to what you desribed called the flux-o-meter. It did a

| Hello: | I would like to know what causes tombstombing and how can it be prevented? | Thx. | Nichol Hi Nichol! A tombstone happens when solder doesn't wet equally on both terminations during reflow...now why that happens can be found by looking at

| I'm very familiar with the great board space savings of BGA and all the "claims to fame." However, can someone out there tell me if any concern exist in the inspection realm. Additionally, solder cracking, CTE/TCE mismatches, no leads for stress re

Those temp stickers are useless unless you can stick them into the copper barrel. They can only determine "skin" temperature which has nothing to do with what is happening in the barrels. Your solder is filling the barrel then going cold. I'll gua

Observations are: * Center most lead of the fuse on the top right of the assembly looks like it has excellent solder flow, but this is PTH. From the amount of solder, it must have been wave or hand soldered. * Center most lead of the fuse on the bot

MoonMan, I'll take a crack at the list. Feel free to answer the ones I don't! 1. Solderability is a parameter which indicates how well a component can be soldered. As far as Solder Termination Coatings go, here are some up�s and down�s of a few. Ha
