A certain degree of cleanliness is needed in SMT manufacturing environment but not as overkill as place it in a "clean room" environment... Yes, dust could cause defect on PCBAs (and there are research papers about it too) but onl

Dear all, Recently I have a problem of non-wetting at our wave soldering process. It appears only on the SMT pads for the chip components (at the solder side) of the HASL PCB. With all the same parameters on the wave soldering machine, i

Some additional comments from a paper may be of interest. Baking Printed Circuit Boards - Why and How Baking printed boards prior to conventional and surface mount assembly should not be necessary. Often boards are baked for historical reasons; in

Rich An excellent question and one which is often totally ignored. If you wish a "no-clean" flux to be as safe as it possibly can be, the PCB and the components must all be contamination free (ionic and non-ionic). Only then can you be sure that the

Hello All, We have a problem with dewetting of solder paste. Problem is most visible on the pads without components (see attached pictures) and occurs randomly, 20% of PCB's. Pcb supplier sent us a cross-section of pads with thickness of Cu, Ni and

This defect is there after reflow. My first thought was that the boards had some sort of contamination, too. This is a new PCB manufacturer for this board (they have been making other boards for us). But... why only on the connectors -- why only o
