Dear all, Recently our lead-free samples being rejected due to very dull and sometimes grainy and very porous surface on solder joints. This samples was flow thru' the lead-free wave soldering with SN100C alloy composition. Referring IPC-A-610 D, le

Electroplating [electrolytic] and dipping [HASL] are the two methods for applying solder coatings to features on boards. Disadvantages of electroplating lead / tin are: * "Weak knees" created at the edge of plated through holes. [I used to get weak k

We are considering adding surface mount components to a board we currently produce. The board is made from CEM-1. Has anyone had any problems with surface mounting to this material? We use a glue/place/cure process. Thanks in advance, John Sims

Try to process the composite pallet through the wave without any flux and view volume of smoke and if any residue is deposited in the wave when it exits. My guess is that the pallets are releasing some binders that are high boiling and this in turn c

Hi Kelvin, Regarding to the surface finish of the leads, Sn or Pd may be the direction that the industry takes. First of all, the answer must be "Pb-Free", limiting our choices. Sn has good solderability, and it won't have too great of an impact o

Hi davef, thanks again for that enlightenment. I'm just curious about what's happening with the solder joint of the said process. Again to add to my unending queries for now: So on top of that copper is a thin layer of lead-free solder composition

Well, everyone has provided good advice, but if you are looking for a wave flux that can provide much better dwell times and consistent wetting throughout the hole fill, without making adjustments to your production process, I suggest going with Senj

I have been researching lead-free paste for a while now and I will share with you what I can. Firstly, SnAgCu seems to be the common industry choice. It really depends on your application - the cell phone/pda sector is primarly using different comb
