Hello All, I used to hear that PCB with immersion silver finishing, its non component location pads, tend to be discolour (Yellowish) after went through heat cycle, such as reflow oven. However, if the component solderbility on the PCB is OK, can w

Hey Bob, Boy, you are lucky to have a laboratory, and now colorful pix!!! The only silver IMC that you will see are: * Ag6Sn, much less likely at 'normal' soldering temperatures * Ag3Sn, much more likely Allowable silver concentration: * Below 2%

It probably depends on the Silver content. We are also using Sn62Pb36Ag2. The paste manufacturer told us that the reason for the small silver content was so that it could wet better to the lead-free component and board finishes bearing silver.

Omid, Try changing your profile. I had the exact same thing happen to me in 2006. Eventually I had to change my paste. No lead parts can and DO have a different finish that Pb parts. Why do you think the rest of the world increased their oven te

Thanks for the info, Here is a couple more questions (and you thought you were done) What size are these caps /res? how thick is your stencil? what type of oven are you using? what is the finish of the board? Anyway, it seems like (from a distance)t

What type of reflow profile are you using ? There is a void reduction profile recommeded by some paste manufacturers, Try that it might help. Did you check the components or the board and see if they have absorbed mositure ? try baking the boards and

I'm just getting more involved with SMT, as I've been a through-hole operator for years. But I don't understand how one could reflow SMT components AFTER the through-hole insertion and solder wave are finished. How does one print paste over a board w

I tried some SN100C from AIM... On only one array. It flowed well on the chips but did not like the finish on the SOT23's on the board. I did not have enough arrays to mess around, so we switched it over to SAC305 and had no issues. I'm guessing w
