It sounds like a bit too much solder on the PWB, caused by too large a pad for the lead it will contain. In that case solder reduction is the way to move forward. What are the options there? 1. New stencil or stencils - (not desirable) 2. Increas

Tough to say. Can you accept the loss of strength of your solder connection if upto 2% of the solder is affected? * Lead and bismuth alloys can form a eutectic composition of Bi52Pb32Sn16 in the grain boundaries. * Melting point of the eutectic all

Dave is touching on one of those magical things that keeps us process engineers well paid and dancing (Well, some of us, lol). Heavy boards with light components. Solder Follows heat. Component heat up earlier. Repeat, Solder follows the heat. Care

Anyone can help me what kind of solder lead use to connect thermocouple wire to pcb for profiling? We use ordinary lead on our profiling and it flats on when reaching 230C temperature. Our required maximum temp is 240C.

A few more tricks to try: - Got a hot air rework machine? You can get more controlled heat on the area and lower the risk of damage to the fab. I never got topside fillets un unrelieve ground planes until I went to convection preheat on my waves.

Hello all, I have a diode(gold plated)on some assemblies that gives me a a hard time. The paste is wetting too good and climbs the lead of the component and touches the body which is a defect. I just wonder what if there is a way to heat the board e

Hi Evtimov 'hege gave you a plausible explanation for what's going on with solder running-up the lead of your components: TOO MUCH METAL!!! I've got different one. This explanation goes along the way that you're thinking, but just opposite. The rea
