solderability and hasl thickness

Intermetallic compounds [IMC]: * Form during the alloying process of some metals. In soldering these are Sn, Ni, Ag, Cu, Au. * Do not accept solder. * Increase in depth in logarithmic proportion to both time and temperature. [So during the solder

black and grey pad

Electronics Forum | Sat Oct 06 05:33:47 EDT 2001 | spchua

I had recently encounter the "black and grey" pads problems for the BGA pad after the convection re-flow. The pads shows in in "black and grey" color and a litter solder in it, and it happen in ramdom, when applied heat and solder on the "black and g

TO99 age and reliability

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 24 12:42:25 EST 2001 | traviss

I�m suddenly getting a very high failure rate in a TO99 component (National LM136AH-2.5). After some investigation we found some of these parts are more than 20 years old. What I am hoping for is that someone out there can help me find some standards

SAC305 and Selective Soldering

Electronics Forum | Tue Sep 17 15:40:59 EDT 2013 | 18424

Good day all, I wanted to get a quick poll from the folks running SAC305 in their selective soldering equipment. How are final results? How repeatable is the process, any machine related failures? pumps? nozzles? etc... I am just looking to get a

Dye and Pry

Electronics Forum | Wed Mar 12 10:26:10 EDT 2008 | realchunks

Why would a board failure related problem be a process problem. I agree most companies believe EVERY problem is a Proces Problem, but in the real world we know this is not true. A pad lifting means your solder joint was able to rip it off the boa

Dye and Pry

Electronics Forum | Wed Mar 12 23:00:10 EDT 2008 | davef

You can say: The pad was lifted after reflow and prior to the dye and pry failure analysis. When we see lifted pads, we think: * That's a good solder connection * Either it took a lot of force to lift that pad or the fabrication of the board in the

COB and wire bond

Electronics Forum | Tue Jun 04 19:33:16 EDT 2002 | rob_thomas

Dave's estimation is pretty conservative but there is a lot of equipment out there and a lot of people happy to make a sale.Implementing both mentioned processes it's difficult and time consuming .Even if you get good training from whoever sells you

Water cleaning and Moisture Entrapment

Electronics Forum | Fri Jan 02 08:10:18 EST 2009 | childs

Thanks for the reply Stephen. The time factor sounds logical for moisture invasion during cleaning, probably why there's no articles showing concern about the process. I did try experimenting with some samples and believe it or not could not dupli

Rework and repair system suggestions

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 27 11:33:59 EST 2005 | russ

For what you have right now I would recommend that you use soldering iron tips that are made for component removal. until you get BGAs I wouldn't worry a whole lot about the expensive rework equipment. I would use specialty tips and a heat gun wit
