| Recently, there has been an upsurge in the Pin Hole/Blow Hole problem in our wave soldering process. We are baking the PCBs for 2 Hrs. at 125 degree C. The Wave Soldering profile seems to be O.K. Still the problem is persistent. Can somebody hel

We have a new assembly with bottom side components, and all the chip caps and resistors are 0603s. The dog boned shape of the caps necessitates a pretty big (and tall) dot to hold them still during placement, and when they get placed the dot squishe

We've all been soldering Pb free parts for a couple decades. All your surface mount capacitors have probably had a Sn finish for years. Whenever one of our parts with a SnPb finish converts for Pb free we have the manufacturing site do a small buil

Great work Amol, Please keep us posted about the results of the x sectioning. I personally don't believe that the cracks are due to non-eutectic properties of SAC. Because the alloy is only 4�C off eutectic and when a solder joint exits the solder

There is learning on all brands requiring fine tuning the test parameters. The first point is not to allow defects to escape. Many brands can do a good job with preventing escapes. The struggle with all the brands becomes false calls. The companies r

Skill and experiance level of assemblers is critical. High skill and experiance with the type of assembly, print and BOM and hgihlighters. Day labor would be 5 to 10 components for each assembler, already prepped with pictures or drawings showing wh

Since I'm new to the forum I probably ask previously answered questions (that I have not found) but I would be grateful if someone could clarify this for me. I'm in R&D at a company where we design low volume (1k-10k) fairly complex PCBAs for our pr

FYI, Yes, it is true SMT Plus [ http://www.smtplus.com/ ]does not meet IPC 782 standards but is that the goal here or to meet IPC-A-610 standards for manufacturing? I agree that patterns do cause some problems if created to maximum IPC standards but
