My memory is so bad, I can't even remember the dirty one..... Try this: If they can remember The first two, black, then brown, all that you need to remember is the colors of the rainbow, in order, then grey. I just visualize it, but there may be so

Recently, my plant met the problem of bridging, a metallic link, lying on the solder mask and joining nearby joints. It is very diffcult to observe by our inspector and may be only discovered with ICT testing. This defect ocurrs randomly around the

Glen: So that's this metal? Is it in the area of PTH or SMT solder connections? Etc, Etc. Assuming its near connections where pasted is reflowed ... Reflow defects, bridging: misplaced components, high placement force mushrooms paste, too much p

Hi, It is wavesoldering defect, in single- sided copper board, using alcohol-based rosin flux. It is not a bridging between the protruding leads but a metallic (I think, it is solder) link, varies in dia./thickness, connected the basement of solde

Glen, Although the previous answers probably fit the problem you are having, we recently found that during pin insertion on an Autosplice machine, the gold was flaking from the pins and lodging between the legs of surface mount components. It would

I would suggest that as well as repeatedly inspecting the same board and looking at the standard deviations of the measurements, you should perform some form of accuracy test either by measuring a known glass plate or by inspecting a board at 0 and 1

Thanks for your feedback. I definitely agree with your viewpoints. Can you send across any documents/papers through e-mail or post them on the smtnet which clearly describes the HARMFUL EFFECTS OF WHITE RESIDUES. My customer's only apprehension is

Russ: Three things: 1 Wolfgang is 100% correctamundo about the slow dissolution rate of gold 2 Shear stength of the gold 63/37 solder connection decreases rapidly, as the gold content of the solder connection increases above 2%. 3 There are many

I can't figure out why everyone is plating everything with gold. According to the J Standard, gold plating should be removed before soldering to the surface. The gold, when left on the surface to be soldered will contaminate the solder joint and ca

Russ, Regarding your no clean soldering to gold. We have been doing that for about three years now. We have been using 62/36/2% silver solder paste. I have not done any thorough testing as to joint strength but the finish is shinier. It looks li
