Solder flags | 5 December, 2008

After hand soldering I am getting solder flags on my boards (see attachments). Any one have an idea on how to get rid of these flags or are those acceptable?

This phenomenon is called patriotic joints Acceptability depends on the colors Am sure WML has a cure for them

Swedish flag made with reflow solder. Ha ha ha guys! Very funny., When my people told me I was wanted on The Forum again I thought it was a real challenge.

IPC S-900T AERO states that these flags are usually caused by the the removal of l�d from solder(l�dfree). Acceptability depends on form/casing. e.g: you wouln't want a tin flag hanging out of your cellphone.

Thanks for making my mondaymorning more bareble anyway!
