Hello, I am having a problem with HASL PCB's after it comes back from the stuffer. To me it looks like oxidation and it causes poor wetting. This leads to a bunch of problems all of which have different symptoms but the cause is this oxidation proble

I'm trying to solder a 0.011" lead into a 0.015" +/-0.003" hole. Stop laughing please. This is normally possible with difficulty, except if the lead is removed and the attempt is made to re-install a lead. Anyone have thoughts on how to remove nea

| While trying to sell me a low temperature baking system for SMDs the salesman mentioned that the 125C for 24hr bake had been known to cause co-planarity defects. | I thought I'd ask some experts. Any help guys? | To remove moisture from low quanti

John: What�s the matter? Free gold � good thing for you, bad thing for your supplier. :^) Pre-tinning of gold plated leads is important to: � Prevent gold embrittlement of the solder joint � Determine if the leads are solderable prior to assembly (

| During inspection and test we find leads which do not get soldered. Some are because of insufficient paste, but with others everything looks right. This will only happen on 1 to 2 pins, and it is not isolated to a specific type of ic or location o

David- You are correct!!! DING DING DING!!!! Here is an overview from the ACI website: ACI offers solderability restoration services by using Reduced Oxide Soldering Activation (ROSA) technology to remove the oxide layers from circuit boards or comp

You know I knew I used this forum for a reason, probably the most complete knowledge base going. I too use Indium and yoru right the minite you hit any stuborn oxides then your bust. The problem however is that the customer tends to dictate what we

You're not the only one. We just got done with a batch of ICs that had a high reject rate at placement. The machine was rejecting about 70% of the parts because it didn't recognize the part. The reason it didn't recognize the part was due to the f

I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to clean oxides off of fine pitch components? Apparently the paste we use does not have strong enough flux to remove the oxides off of the leads of the components. I have validated the profile and that i

Thoughts are: * 215-220 temperature at the leads is not real hot for leaded assembly. * It's peculiar for component leads to dewet. Sometimes non-wetting occurs along the edge of the lead where the lead is not plated. * How do the leads of a removed
