We are finding solder shorts under 1206 Components on the bottom side of our boards.In all cases these shorts are from either side of the component to a feed-thru under the component body. Adhesive is used to glue down the component and then the boar

I have a board that has surface mount on both sides . On this board is a 22pin connector which is the only thru-hole part.This part is located on the component side. I would like to reflow this part. Can this be done? If so, how can this be done?

To aid in heat dissipation of our PCB, we would like to try having copper fill areas on the board that are hot air levelled and not covered with solder resist. Then, when the board is reflowed, solder paste would be applied and then solder. Has anyon

WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS REFLOWING BOARDS WITH WHITE TIN PLATING. WE ARE NOT GETTING GOOD WETTING ON THE PADS. WE HAVE CHECKED THE REFLOW PROFILE AND TRIED DIFFERENT PASTE'S. WE THINK THERE MAY BE CONTAMINATION OR OXIDATION ON THE PADS. IS TH

| Has anyone ever heard of testing solder paste quality by pasting a board and making a determination of the quality by measuring paste height and width after the board is pasted. Would you consider this a valid test for solder paste testing? | Mar

We are considering adding surface mount components to a board we currently produce. The board is made from CEM-1. Has anyone had any problems with surface mounting to this material? We use a glue/place/cure process. Thanks in advance, John Sims

| Has there anyone bold enough to try this in their shops? My cubemate just got through telling me that at his last shop, they had bare copper boards (no HASL, no OSP, no nothing), with minimal solderability problems. I'd hate to have to clean what
