We're having a lot of problems with failed solder joints to gold-plated MOSFET leads. Gold plate thickness spec is 60uin, but we've seen as much as 200uin in cross-section, so we're obviously concerned about gold embrittlement issues. Pre-tinning w

Thx for the replies. Acutally I am doing a process related study to see whether the process (pcb depanelling)can induce crack to an MLCC. After depanelling, I will do a thermal shock on the MLCC based on IEC 384-1, that is, five cycles of 30min at hi

MAke a new stencile and have the aperatures reduced by 20% in X and Y. This has solved 90% of all solder balling issues I have ever dealt with. Be careful with your fine pitch and micro-BGA's. If you are not having problems with fine pitch and 1:1

We had the same problems a few years back. We complained and they came back with the excuse that the supplier of the parts had made a bad batch. They sent us a new part in exchange of the broken one. When faced with premature breakage of parts that a

Hi, There are "Fluxbuster" or "Rotator" pins on the market - we had to use them a few years ago on a flexy board (with OSP). There is some info from one source at the following link: http://www.isiconnectors.com/mfrs/idi/idipr.htm#Rotator We got
