Hello, I am looking for inputs (experiential or opinions) concerning field reliability of high-frequency RF boards that have had a trace or pad repair (or both), any package type. If anyone can comment on this subject, I would appreciate it. We bu

We have what appears to be a recurring problem. On immersion gold boards only, we are having solderability problems. After reflow, selected parts can be popped right off the board. There is then a dark haze left on the pad. The paste on the compon

We use Selective Wave Pallets for the vast majority of our boards with great success. Many of our boards have BGA's and connectors on both sides, which for the most part then require the Selective Wave Pallet. We successfully use pallets up to 10mm t

Are the tin/lead ratios compatible betweem HASL and wave solder? Probably are, just a remote possibility. Flux application is? bubbler, sprayer? Either way, are you getting good misting, coverage on those teeny 0.5mm test points? If not, then no

Garth, the short term solution to your problem from our perspective is to rent the suite, train your people, and send it back. This can fit anyone's budget. We try not to have price stand in the way when the training is required. The only danger yo

Jake, The No-cleans on the market, to me, still aren't as good as OA and water wash. But they have gotten better. The type of No-Clean flux and paste to use really depends on each individual assembly, the machines used, settings, and the environme
