In a previous job, we had torque off requirements for different sized components for our screen print adhesive (non-conductive in our case). We used a torque watch that would measure max torque, so we could test production boards, shear testing was

In 90% humidity it’s easy to get condensation. Condensation will create electrical failure when the board isn’t conformal coated. In your case the failure disappears when the humidity level drops so to me it’s unlikely that the flux has anything to d

I agree Patrick many people blame the assembly fluxes when it is some other hygroscopic chemistry left on the bare PCB such as surfactents from the HASL process these will do exactly what the guy reported in his post fail then cool down and pass ever

I had a batch of Xilinx chips that I believe had microscopic hairs of the lead frame left as slivers on the leads. These maybe got encapsulated by the solder plating, and then were free to move when the chips were reflowed. You could see the tiny h

Hi, I have a copper plate that we received from supplier with oils and some sort of stains. We tried most of the general type of degreasers by soaking but didn't work until we tried a Floor Stripper from Ace and it does make the copper clean and shi

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

Thanks DucHoang, One more favor. Will really appreciate if you can point us on how to figure out the number of patterns (number of offsets) from the VIOS file. Also we would like to know the feeder types represented by the numbers in the &F sectio

Depending on the how you plug the via, the void level can significantly affected. If you have via plugged from the bottom side; i.e. opposite side of the component, you will see alot of void due to entrapped air in the via hole. I found work best wh

I have always been under the impression that you want the flux make-up of your cored wire and supplemental flux (squeeze bottle) to be as identical/compatible as possible. I was just looking over a manufacturers datasheet for a resin-based cored wir

There is no such thing as "IPCA610 compliance". The correct way of looking at this that the boards were inspected to IPC Class I, II or III Revision XX (current Rev is "E") and met all of the criteria. From a commercial standpoint it would greatly
