What do you mean by "new information"? On final module testing: * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you detect it during final testing, you'll notice it. * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you don't detect it during final testing, you'll ship

Hi O'Conner, I hope you also tell us what Universal-GeorgeW discusses with you. It is a little strange seeing his name on this list and his phone number. Gee I can give you his email address but won't.. Again distance engineering is tough. I woul

O'Connor: IPC-A-610, section 12.4.4 SMT Soldering Anomolies - Nonwetting was added primarily to accomidate OSP boards. Heated flux is used to remove the 'lacguer'. So, you end-up with a copper colored border [or shadow] around the pads, where there

Q1: Anyone has any ideas on how this post-SMT reflow solder joint could have changed to whitish joint? A1: Dunno. You need to tell us more. For instance: * What is the appearance of this white residue? [eg, glassy / coarse, milky colored / opaque,

Dear Carl, My-my Carl, not sleeping well lately? No mater what you say, I believe this is a forum for SMT users, not SMT suppliers. When this or any other forum gets polluted with sales-spin, it is less valuable than if a �real� user provides his

Frank, Your initial question about temperature profiling is a critical point to a good wave solder process. Especially if you have a No Clean flux. As recommended by many in the thread above, get the Process Data Sheet for your flux (this is not the

I have a CEM-1 PCB board with 35 microns copper. This is PCB is finished with SMOBC+HALS. We do solder SMT LEDs, but till date we do not have problems that you have listed. The LEDs are good & bright. It even passed high & low temp cycle tests (-40 t

Blow holes/ pin holes in solder joints are the result of multiple root causes. Suggested analysis might look like this; 1) What method of solder preservation is used on the bare board. (hasl,enig, osp, etc.) HASL can leave unwanted flux residues,

If you are saying that you have discolored white tin at in-bound inspection, you have bad boards. The boards are fabricated incorrectly. Your fabricator is deficient. That is the GREAT thing about imm coatings. You can look at them and determine
