OK, why are you hand fluxing? You may want to take the time to use your real fluxer. Yeah, it's a bit messy but you can control the amount of flux you're putting on the board. And with water based fluxes, this is critical. If you are stuck to han

You have incomplete plating in the through holes would be my bet, baking will not solve, nothing will, at least that is what I have found except a lot of hand work and frustration, have your PCB house perform cross section at affected area in your

How about your bare pcb handling? do you stuff smd component prior hand soldering? you can try to bake the pcb and then see if this problem still exist.

You might want to try Zestron. They make a lot of different cleaners. We use Zestron SD 300 if we clean a stencil by hand. It works great, a lot better than alcohol. Go to http://www.zestron.com. Hope this helps.

Stephen, What does the nurse say about lead-free? You can eat as much as you want? You don’t have to wash your hands anymore? Sorry couldn’t resist.

Electronic devices required higher speed, I/O capability, and density to meet standard requirements. Automated robotic soldering solutions that meet the demands of applications are too challenging for hand soldering. Manual soldering, even with the m

For selective soldered components, or even hand soldered, with vertical bend components, the body of the component, in this case a resistor, is making contact with the surface of the PCB, making it impossibe to visually see the solder fillet. Or to d

I have a thick board with ground planes that will be soldered by hand with a mildly active solder/flux. X-ray confirmed that solder was added to the top of the joint causing a void between the bottom and top solder joint. Other than the mildly acti
