Tell us more about the location of the bridging [ie, front-to-back, back-to-back, front-to-front, etc]. Thoughts are: * Your annular ring around the hole seems large. You have 0.007", consider 0.003" to be the minimum. Your board fabricator can gi

IPC-A-610D Section 5, shows a variety of photographs of: * Good lead-free solder connections * Lead-free soldering anomalies Hot Tear / Shrink Hole is one such anomaly. This shrinkage effect appears primarily on wave-soldered joints, but can also

Hi Bart, that�s much to high. If that would happen to me my boss would tear my head off. For improving the yields you must find the cause for the soldering problems. What are the symptoms? What could be the cause for the symptoms? Could be design pr

hello Zac, if you are running pump at 100% and there is not enough wave then you will probably need to empty solder bath and clean everything. also check pump parts for tear and wear. eached solder inlet can make a lot of problems when it comes to w

We use SAC305 and top side particular joint temp. is 110 deg C, and the terminal finish for that particular lead is pure tin. It look like hot tearing at the primary side of PTH.

hi, gald to hear that yr process is working well.....we are in the process of buying a wave with SN100C solder.....any pitfalls/precautions that you took during the transition? did you do any DOE for setting up the profile values?? are you seeing a

Howdy Amol, As far as I can see, there aren't too many pitfalls with SN100C. Just make sure to keep all of your alloys seperated. The issues that I am working out right now is the profiles with our wave pallets and some of our larger components. We

Based on what you have said so far it would be worth trying extra pads and as you may know the drainage pads should be a minimum of three times the length of the pads before them to be effective. Also take some parts stick them to a glass plate and r

Dear all, As far as I know hot tear or shrink hole defect only happen at plated though hole soldering, especially for those lead free wave process. Recently, a laboratory engineer had done cross section on some of the SMT BGA ball and IC lead solde

Fillet lifting is a phenomenon mostly observed at wave soldering. It is caused by mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient (TCE) between solder and parts, and aggravated by the pasty range of solder alloys. Upon cooling, the mismatch in TCE will cau
