Volume of paste = 2X volume of the hole Questions are: * Why does your customer want the hole filled with solder? * Would materials other than solder be acceptable? * We assume 0.020" is drill size. What is the finished size of the hole? * What is t

By connector, you mean socket? Connector use for board to board connection from FCI, MFG P/N: 84500-202 What is the material of the connector(socket)? Is it very frigale? Housing: liquid crystal polymer Solder ball: SnPb 63/37 how big are the bal

"....over 3500 apertures in a circuit that is about 1 x 1.5 inches..." 8O Yeah, Larry would definitely be the go-to on this one. :P I would think reducing stencil thickness would be your best bet to avoid that ratio problem, but how durable is a .

Looks like lack of wetting. What is the BGA ball material? Could be high temp. Could be improper profile. Could be paste sat on board too long / flux dryout. Could be co-plane mount and this ball touched at the end of reflow curve. Could be cont

As Emil says, it's 100% the glue! Your paste is not designed to hold parts on at wave solder. Reflow is MUCH hotter than glue, so I doubt you're not adequately heat-curing it. Possibly, the glue cure is "too hot" and maybe making the material brit

Hi, in the beggining of PB free process, there were a lot of solder pastes based on a Bismuth and some other materials, mainly because of their low melting temperature. The feedback shows problems in the mechanical strenght of the joints with the ti

Start off by suggesting that they buy the parts as they're going through their layout. Their engineers can output a BOM based on the design, and they ought to be able to buy to that. That also keeps you off the hook for material liability in case a

Your specification for all PCB suppliers of 'solder mask over bare copper using LPI on external layers (green)' is broad and open to the use of material from many possible LPI suppliers by your board fabricator. In at least one case, it appears that

Philip, Pl note that there is one more fabricator from Malasia, whom we found to be up to the mark with Wave Soldering Pallets constructed with Durastone/CDM Durastone. They also offer ESD Protected to match ESD guidelines of Assembly & Photo Sensi
