Here's what I do: - Test Surface Insulation Resistance (we're in the high reliability market and use a test significantly harder than IPC's). I also test SIR in combination with other assembly materials like conformal coatings and wave solder flux

Dave, to answer your questions, point-by-point: � Just out of curiosity, how are second side, skippy components oriented on the board with respect to the wave? The SMD's are all oriented in the "correct" direction with respect to wave direction(i

Currently manufacturing double-sided PCMCIA cards with a nickel/gold finish, which are 0.0235thou in thickness, using surface mount carriers. Problem we are seeing is when building the densely populated side on the second pass we are seeing lifting o

Well, I hope I don't offend anyone. I'm brand new to this. I am considering starting my own assembly line to handle my own products but would like to be able to utilize my downtime as an opportunity to keep the machines running by trying to pick up a

So far on all my trials on PIHR I have only used standard products as the paste is defined by the printing requirements for fine pitch etc. As most people will have seen you just get a heap more residues with this process and even more with lead free

Hany: In response to your questions: 1- In a double wave solder M/C, is possible to completely eliminate the second wave without affecting the quality of the solder joints? Many w/s machines have a turbulent wave and a smooth wave. The turbule

I have got a number of assemblies back from a customer with feedback that the solder fillet is less than 25% of chip height per IPC-Standard-610B Class 2. Most of my joints are having good wetting but fillet height does not meet min ht requirement of

| Has there anyone bold enough to try this in their shops? My cubemate just got through telling me that at his last shop, they had bare copper boards (no HASL, no OSP, no nothing), with minimal solderability problems. | yes, 8 years ago I developed
