Hello, We are using a PCB with thickness 3.2mm 4 layer and lot of through hole via's of diameter 0.4mm. We specified our PCB vendor to do plugging. Now we have big problems, that after 1..4 weeks we measure a low resistance between track's/via's of

We need some opinions about a situation that is causing problems in our process. The pcb's in question are .125 thick with a HASL finish. The boards are coming in with a large amount of solder trapped inside the via holes. Sometimes this solder is ac

Yes, providing the surface of the via is solderable. * If so, how much paste? => Vias come in various sizes. Boards vary in thickness. So, the amount of paste to fill a via varies. Roughly, you�ll need twice as much paste as the volume of the via

| | I am a new employee at a company that has had a large turnover of employees over the past year. I am working on a board (components on one side only), the engineer (he is also new ) wants to use an .035 pad with a .021 dia. hole, there are no via

Looking at the original post, it seems that the white residue is formed on the board after wave soldering and becomes evident when it has been left standing for a while. From what I understand, it seems that the solids content of the "no clean" flux

| | I am looking for advice or information from anyone about the possible reliability problems associated with epoxy on solder pads of discrete devices. Will the epoxy expand and lift over time, Will there be adverse reaction between the solder and t

1) At this time we do not have a design engineer. I have contacted the PCB manufacturer about changing the drill file to close up the diameter on the holes a bit. This should allow the wings on the leads of the component to rest on top of the holes i

Hello guys! I have a question for you guys, we have been working with a cleaning agent call Safewash (SWAS) from electrolube, we use this safewash to clean the flux residue from the boards after wave soldering, since or customer doesn't like to have

Hi, just my comment, theoretically No Clean means no Ion Contaminants from Flux, but it some some case ion contamination (Cl-Br-F) could come out from raw PCBs, from Components, from fingerprints, etc. To incorporate a ROSE step in the pro
