Hi, I need support on the method or applicable standard to measure the shear force strength on chip capacitors and resistors. I know the soldered joints strength is related to land desing, solder volume, pcb and component solderability, component

Maybe there's no test and I don't know where or why my customer came with that requirement (I think because in one of the board shipments he got a board were a smd resistor broke, but I think that happened because miss handling), but anyway I need so

Hi, Our engineering board has to decide which technology is better for the hand soldering of the SMT components: HASL or Chemical Ni-Au. We have an automatic line for SMD assembling and our experience shows us that for this automatic line is better

I think your solder mask is a partial cause of your solder balling. Additionally, adjusting some machine set-up parameters may also help. 1 If we were talking about a single assembly problem, we�d be thinking about the laminate, but since you say t

If you do not have one of the big in-line aqueous cleaners, then there is an easier way that is a lot less expensive. I suggest you try Asahi's AK-225T vapor degreasing solvent which has been around for 10 years now. And it is legal. If you have

DO NOT Mix Technologies.... If you are using a no clean solder paste use a no clean wave solder process. I have direct experience with using a no clean paste and a RA water-soluble wave solder process. When cleaning with the water wash system your

use a solder join temperature of 200/210� whatever the pcb used (tin lead coated or osp or gold fash). 2nd ==> to adapt the temerature to the pcb used: - Reflow (200-210�) for tin lead coated pcb's (in this case we have just to reflow the solder

We had the same problem years ago when we started using a radial inserter. The inserter would dutyfully insert and clinch the leads. The problem in our case was the component body sealing to the fab, especially on electrolytics caps with a film jac

since you did not define what visual process you are inspecting with I will ask is this "grainy" appearance being detected with the naked eye only? Are you using magnification? if so, what power? Is this a SMT solder or through hole solder problem?

Most of the component vendors I've dealt with will guarantee the solderability of the terminations for three years if the components are still packaged in a full reel. If the reel is part used we've kept them for 1 year and then used a wetting balanc
