Hi Jason I think Wolfgang has this one nailed. If it's the same four pins every time and nothing changes this, even rotating the board 90 degrees, then you're probably going to find something like a ground plane connected to them. I don't think sol

Thanks for all the ideas. I tried solder "thieves" by placing some desoldering wick behind the briging pins and it worked! I have yet to try Chrys' idea but I will first thing Monday. This is a new board that has had this problem from day one. I

Re: Soldering to thru-hole lead to ground plane without thermal relief

Solder 'follows' heat. 1. Preheating is a great idea, use a baking oven to get the whole assembly up to temperature, use the preheaters in your wave solder machine (without wave) to preheat the assemblies ... 2. Or use the biggest soldering iron

Solder Bridging on Nexlev Connector

Electronics Forum | Tue May 09 22:57:58 EDT 2006 | davef

The NexLev connector is built in a stripline construction, providing a continuous ground plane for each signal contact. The connectors come as tenrow connectors with 100, 200, or 300 positions at possible stacking heights from 10 mm to 30 mm. Technic

Soldering on a Ground Plane

We've got this hard-to-Wave-solder board where all of the SMD's are on a ground plane - in fact the entire bottom-side is a ground plane. Our designers have incorporated thermal relief on some of the pads, but for reasons unknown to us, they don't h

Non-wetting on QFP lead

Electronics Forum | Wed Nov 21 19:45:36 EST 2001 | Yngwie

Hi Guys, I need help. I�ve a trouble with non-wetting problem on the lead of 208 pin, 20 mils pitch QFP. We are on intrusive reflow. I never faced this problem before on this product after running them for about 2 years now. This occurred on one pa

Dealing with TH Barrels on Bds w/Heavy Ground Planes

Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 15 17:40:42 EDT 2008 | bandjwet

Dear SMTNetters: What are some favorite techniques for getting all of the solder from a plated throughhole on a heavy ground plane area? We are using a SAC 405 alloy. Regards BWET

CK: If you�ve done everything under the sun process-wise at the wave: different fluxes, more heat, less heat, more contact time, and less contact time; and are running out of ideas; let me table some thoughts. � "Don�t mess with Mother Nature."

CK: I hear you about pads. Most secondary side SMT pads are primary side SMT pads that are on the secondary side. This only matters when boards are wave soldered. Rather than changing to larger components, consider a bigger fight than that ... ge

Dave, to answer your questions, point-by-point: � Just out of curiosity, how are second side, skippy components oriented on the board with respect to the wave? The SMD's are all oriented in the "correct" direction with respect to wave direction(i
