Hello all, One of our resistor arrays is becoming detached from its balls after reflow. This is the second instance of this happening. The balls are clearly soldered to the board, but the actual package is coming off (package pads are quite bare).

There are pots on the board in the power supply to adjust the voltages after the machine is powered up. The location of these pots are in the munual supplied with the machine

Like Dave said, you need to use an acid solution. This is what is used prior to HASL. You will think I am crazy but you can use vinegar or even catsup/ketchup. The acetic acid will clean the oxidation. Just rinse the board off before using.

We currently still build a fair amount of boards with through hole parts. These parts are placed by hand using kits, so there is always the "human" factor that tends to play into the root cause of the failure mode. Has anyone seen, heard of a method

How are you sepatating your boards out of the panel? If you are flexing them to break the V-score, this could be what is causing the resistors to crack.

We had this same problem several years ago. The caps and resistors were cracking when we snapped the boards apart. We now use a pizza cutter style depanelizer. A couple of manufacturers that I know of are CAB and Fancort. I hope this helps.

Hi everyone, First post here. I am completely new to smt as well. We are a small startup and would like improve our in-house smt assembly capability from manual assembly. We are looking at small production runs, initially about a total of 200 board

Looking to convert thru-hole circuit boards to SMT... any recomendations or suggestions of who can do this that would be close to NY?
