Solder spattering, solder balls, components "popping" off pads........ Not a serious chemical reaction, however, as replied to by KEN on 12/21/04 in a similar article: "Are you adding liquid flux? Or paste "Gel" flux? If liquid flux: This, in my m

In doing process qualifications for 0201 caps, has anyone taken cross-sections and discovered cracks / hairline fractures / voids between the metalization on the end and the ceramic itself? (not cracks in the solder joint) We are well within the cap

I don't think I can post pics in this (if anyone knows otherwise let me know), so I will email them to anyone who's curious. Here's the answers to your questions: Placement Force: 0201s are placed on the Siemens S23s with 1 newton of force. The s

Q1:A picture of the sectioned MLCC would be nice. A1: I don't think I can post pics in this (if anyone knows otherwise let me know), so I will email them to anyone who's curious. R1: You�re correct. You cannot post pix on SMTnet. Please email me t

U may check your profile ramp rate. The flux may evporated and look like cold joint

On an assembly reflowed in air saw the same thing: 0201's with a grainular solder joint, but 0402's and above with perfectly formed joints. Reflow profile all within acceptable tolerances. Reflowing in nitrogen solves this problem, but increases t

Hello! I have a strage problem, we made some production with uBGA, BGA, 0201, 0805, and other type of component. We didn't put the uBGA and 0201 and BGA on the board at the end of the line we look a our solder joint and surprise the solder made a

Hi, I'm new in SMT & confusing to define the soldering defect criteria of cold solder, dry joint & dewetting. & what's the root cause for them ? FYI, I had read the IPC-A-610 rev. B , but doesn't help much. Any advise is very much appreciate. Thanks

Thames: Welcome. Consider Rev C. It's current and has "better" descriptions. Consider a course. I believe IPC is doing a tourof A-610 and J-001 classes. Different problems have different root causes. For instance: * Cold solder: Moving the c

hi, I am a Hardware designer . One of my products is undergoing a Reliability test in which a resistor shows a high value on board from its specified value .However it retains the original value when its cooled under room temperature. The resistor
