I discovered that we have some gold plated (30 mico in.) through hole connectors which were Paste In Hole soldered (60 sec at reflow) on a HASL PCB. Do we have an embrittlement reliability issue? The calculated volume % of gold in the joints is about

Are you using a water based flux? Are the solder balls mainly around or near non-plated holes or near the edges of the PCB? If so the preheat must be set so the water content of the flux is fully evaporated before the board hits the solder wave. If

Hello guys , we just started first trials on PTH connectors mounted in SMD. Our first results show big deviation of solder filing in the hole and also a dramatic decreasing of mounting spped on pick & place equipement. 1 - Did someone uses proflow
