Hello Russ, I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Are you saying that you must hand solder these connectors because the gold plating doesn't allow other though hole processing methods to wet the solder the length of the pin in the PTH? Reg

Jim, you are right in this. these connectors have long pins 1/2" or so that protrude through the board and are used for mating into a female connector on some other assembly. due to both length and "no solder allowed in contact area" criterias thes

We are starting to see a large increase in the use of through board gold plated connectors that require hand soldering with the limitation of .o6" encroachment up the pin. What is the best way to accomplish this? we currently scrap about 5-10% of t

I assume the connector is like one used in PC104 that allows mating of boards together by inserting the pins extending from the connector on one board into the female portion of the connector on a second board. Who ever accepted this job is dopey.

Hello Russ, I believe that the dullness in color of the solder joint is related to the gold finish on the pads. I have had done alot of thru hole soldering of gold pins as well as SMT on gold finish and have seen the condition that you are talking a

Hi all, I do know a little on PCB manufacturing. I would like to know whether using gold on PCB pads can cause soldering problems, both using automation and by hand. We are using a new device, 484-pin, 0.8mm, BGA and 0402 size capacitors. Or it can

Long story short: I paid someone to convert some older Gerber files to the new RS-274x format for me so I could have them manufactured. I sent them the original Gerber files (RS-274D) along with additional files showing information on the layout. T

Hi, Has any body experienced the problem of poor cotacts on HDMI connectors. The connectors pins are gold plated and we see some kind of white residue on the gold pins.How to check if this is a flux residue?We are using No Clean flux in wave solderin

Glen, Although the previous answers probably fit the problem you are having, we recently found that during pin insertion on an Autosplice machine, the gold was flaking from the pins and lodging between the legs of surface mount components. It would

I am not aware of any such info so you may not get any replys on this but each of these systems is totally different. There is usually not much overlap of what is the right choice for an application. The solder bath machines with fixtures are for hig
