I am building a board with T1/34 LED's in a 10X10 array there are 12 arrays in a panel. The LED's are body to body in the array, .1 spaced. The LEDS have been autoinserted on a Universal RAD III, so they are cut and clinched. The trouble I am having

We are getting what looks like cold solder joints on one of our boards. The boards have an aluminum substrate, and use OSP plating. The solder is lead free - 96.5 Sn, 3.0 Ag, .5 Cu. The flux is no clean. When we first had the problem, my solder profi

Have you tried different board orientation through the oven, or have the boards been put through the same way each time?

Sorry looking at your profile again and considering its Aluminium substrate I would opt for an increase to the preheat or introduce a soak to the profile to get the PCB up to reflow. Try soaking between 175 - 200C sufficient enough to heat the whole

If your through holes are overlarge or the anular rings too small, the surface tension of the wave may exceed that of the joint. I would look at the design. You may want to put a strip of kapton tape on the following edge of the panel to test the "

Brian, Thanks for the input. The hole size is good but the anular ring is small. I have helped the condition by reducing the clinch on the LED's. This I believe is reducing the pull out path. Thanks again | If your through holes are overlarge or th

| I have a problem! The solder on my pc boards look great comeing out | of my reflow oven. They go thrue the rest of the prossese | and at the end at the qc station it's cold or whitish or gray not shiny. | does any one have a idea on how to correct

We wound up using a ramp to spike profile with 50 sec. between 150C and 217C and 90 sec. above 217C. The idea being the flux is still active when it hits reflow, and it stays in reflow long enough for the weird alloy in the parts lead to wet. All par
