Hello Joseph, Sorry for the bad news but microcracking is a well known potential condition occuring with the SAC305 alloy. Microcracking is a condition being seen with many joints soldered with the SAC305 alloy. It is technically a shrinkage cavity

1. The jetting head flies very low to the level of the board. So, performing AOI function will crash the head. 2. AOI is performed close to the end of the line, after P&P or reflow. Are you planning to run the boards back-and-forth, on the line? 3. L

Hly, The solder ball in your picture looks just like the countless BGA solder joints that I�ve produced over the past 8+ years. We've had a good number of these joints X-rayed, cross-sectioned, and thermally stressed. Some say that the stretched loo

"Whether or not you need a toe fillet depends on your application. We have high reliability products where we can't use a QFN over a certain size, regardless of toe fillet. We have other applications where we meet the thermal cycle requirements for a

The assumption that a HASL Sn63 PCB can be soldered with SAC solder paste is likely a bad one. The board itself is likely FR4 which can be damaged by lead free temperatures. The HASL finish isn't an issue from the perspective of it's makeup and actu

Ahhh, the seminar. Almost as bad as "seeing it on TV". Keep your shoes shiny and wear nice cloths. You'll make it in American manufacturing - if you have buzzwords up to snuff.

I searched the archives, found one thread with one response (my own, which went unnoticed since this forum doesn't bump threads when they get responses), so I'm hoping a resurrection of sorts will generate some input. Anyone using one of these syste

Problem 1: Solder shortage * Stencil aperatures [except the heat slug] should be 1:1 with the board. * Stencil should be 5 thou thick laser cut. * Board should be 1:1 with the component * Print should look good. Problem #2: Bad connection between p

Assuming you're using DOM and shelf life to determine what's good and what's not, you just have to know 1)the rate at which you use it up, 2) how much shelf life is left, and 3) the rate that it goes bad when not refrigerated. From that you can tel
