Hello, We are having a problem with soldering QFP100 (16mmx16mmx1mm). Board dimensions: 70mmx50mmx1.8. FR4 two layers � single SMT assembly. Finish: HASL-lead free Oven: 7 zones �hot air Paste: lead free We have noticed that two groups of legs

It is CSP reliability issue, which is the mobile CPU from Spreadtrum. All the tests passed and shipped to customer. They assembly them and tested but failed. After they reflow this CSP with hot air gun, some of the boards passed. We got some board

As Mark stated in a different reply, we also send our Pb-free BGA's out to be re-balled with SnPb paste so that we don't have to elevate the reflow temperatures. You have to be careful regarding the individual components on your boards as although m

Sure you can. But I don't have the time, money or resourses to do this. I do not have the luxery of only getting SnPb parts. Wish I did, but I don't. As for temp specs, I know the specs on all my parts. We profile our ovens every month. We can

Wayne; Several things. 1.check the vendors and see what black oxide they are using are they the same ? It might be that. 2.You should bake your pcbs before the thermal stress is applied. To remove moisture. At your shop. The proce

I've talked to several Applications Engineers and Chemists from a couple of different paste manufacturers and they confirm that the profiles on their data sheets are nothing but guidelines. It's up to you, Process Engineer or Process Tech, to develo

Ms. Chunks, I am an industrial engineering student at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in Milwaukee, WI USA with many years of experience in the SMT assembly industry. By your description, an IE job with your company offers just the typ

I agree that it should be a non-issue considering that the primary purpose of a solder joint is to electrically connect the lead to the board. However, there are some here that think these leads should be touched up because this part is a power jack

Not sure what software you have, but somehow you must be accumulating costs by process and you probably know [or can figure-out] how many boards you processed. From this, you can calculate a standard cost of a process. Continuing, there is a thread,

We have experienced the same problem with Pd/AG and P/Ag terminations on precision resistive parts. The problem is dissolution of the termination metallisation into the bulk solder. This is exacerbated by the higher thermal profiles required for RoHS
