Hello Graham Copper. Thanks for yr comment. I will review the pad size and component placement with our engineer. It looks that the placement of lead is wrong. But what i want to hear from you is about solder lump on the right.As you can see, the sol

If your "engineer reviewed the reflow profile and said this was not related to reflow conditions," then what does he think it's related to? We think that a increased effort to improve the thermal recipe to solder this part is required, because: * S

Hi, Do you have a picture on one of these leads where the solder has covered the lead ? As this is a gull wing device I wouldn't expect solder to cover it. I expect to see a toe fillet / wetting around the sides of the lead and a heel fillet. If your

Unfortunately, what you are calling a good fillet is not a good fillet. Solder on the top of the IC lead does not help to make a good connection. The most important fillet is the one located at the heel (think of the IC lead where it meets the PCB as

Hello SMTnetters We have a unique application requiring cleaning of an aggressive OA flux. A vapor degreasing process or the immersion of the parts in boiling solvents has some process advantages over an ultrasonic aqueous process. These advantages

Resistivity Of Solvent Extract [ROSE] is a bulk ion contamination [BIC] test method. It should thought of as a process control tool used to assess ionic contaminants. Don't consider it an acceptable tool for establishing 'GO-NOGO' limits. The stan

Hello Sir. We also encountered the same pin-hole issue but there was around MLCC.I also looked for some information in technical report and internet, But i failed to get an answer. As you know this pin hole or blow hole is caused by the solder boilin

Hi , Looking at your photo....can I also see a hole in the middle of the joint on the chip component ? Maybe its not just a problem with th ejoint son diodes ? Did you also get mid chip solder balls on chips? If so, I'd almost guarantee the pcb has t

I have recently purchased an ACE Kiss 101A Selective Solder System 4 weeks ago. I am having a terrible experience. The nozzle will not stay wet, and the flux-er pattern continues to shift erratically; all leading to very poor quality process. ACE

We have one and it's awesome. No problems & training and install was great. The only problem we have had in a couple years is inconsistent nozzle fountain (lasted a day or two until we figured it out). It was our fault - an operator had mixed hand
