Hello again.... I have been reading up on profiles and how to set them up for different results. I now have an upcomming job with some strict guidlines on reflow. I was wondering... if I were to email a pic of my desired profile could someone out the

steve- once again I mention that the lead that is actually in the water is in solution i.e. the lead is in a molecular form that has attached to a H2O molecule. To have a minimum of lead that is below the regulated ppm, there cannot be any chunks,

No-Clean fluxes are difficult to clean off boards. Cleaning effectivness depends on the washer, the chemistry, the flux type, number of reflows, and the time between reflow and washing. White residue is flux residues that have started to break down b

Q1: Is this [paste in hole] feasible? A1: Yes, many people lower their operating cost by reflowing through hole components. Q2: What types of components are difficult to do this way [paste in hole]? A2: Types of through hole components that are d

This sounds like a contamination issue with the HASL finish.(solder on lead but not on pad). I have experienced this before and it was related to the HASL process at our supplier. They found some type of contaminate in the bath (unfortunately I can

First, from what you say, it's unclear that there is a "solderability" issue with your connectors. Different appearance of the soldered connection from one side of the connector to the other is what we're talking about [I think]. But it is curious.

Nothing funny seems to happen to the connector when heated. I have no idea how to monitor the temperature of a good pad vs. a bad pad because I have no idea before reflow which ones will be good and which will be bad. I did take a board and rip the

cvrgrrrl Your first thermal cycle with imm silver should be the easiest to solder. That you see copper indicates you did no soldering, got no wetting, produced no intermetallics, etc. Tell us again which components did not solder? Wuzzis "plug" t

OK I know it is funny to have two different PWB/PCB processes, one for pre production and one post production yet it is possible if controlled and implemented in a strategy. In debug if your company's experience has been for a repeated need to do IC

I'm doing SMT of lead-free solder BGA on FR4 Ni-Au PCB. The solder paste I'm using is Sn/Ag/Cu and reflow with peak temp at 240C. I found there are voids(1-2) in almost every solder joint(500 micron in dia) under xray. And the void size is violate th
