Hi So Steve, I must have missed something from your last subject topic. "solder fillet peeling" Are you saying you or they, Ultrasonic Clean for 20 to 30 minutes after soldering and that is suspected as causing the cracking at the top of the compo

I'm worried about the voids that you have on the heel fillet of the leads. Off the top of my head, I don't recall if/what the IPC spec is for voids in gull lead fillets is but my gut instinct is that you're compromising the mechanical strength of the

You haven't mentioned whether you are producting only through hole product or if it is mixed technology. What kind of flux (no clean, H2O clean) you are using and whether you performed a first article at part stuffing prior to wave. Generally, you

Hi, I fully agree with isd.jww. The difference in the solder joint appearance of the 2 joints highlighted could be down to a few reasons...reflow profile (I know you've checked, but have you stuck a thermocouple on this actual joint ? ), contaminatio

Q1:What is the relation between component standoff and drop missing? A1:component standoff will identify either solder paste at SMT side can form the fillet at component terminal or not. Drop/missing component is totally out of the topics since i jus

Hello! We are having field failures due to cracking of the solder on our SMD micro switch components. I have been reading the IPC standards, and the only thing that it states regarding the solder profile/amount for Gull Wing component is "wetted fill

In a perfect world, the machines would be maint."guys" for the automation machines. Think "closed loop" system. Anyway, getting back to our reality job, we are still game for automation to improve thru'put, quality, reduce problems. The focus here

We periodically see chip caps with poor solderability. Often terminations are missing plating.

Hi Tsvetan, Yes, I've heard it's difficult to program but good once it gets going. At the moment, I'm working through the manuals, but can't find a step by step guide, just lots of reference material on how to do things, but not knowing what orde

What problems are the quality people seeing? I hope they aren't expecting a toe fillet. QFNs are typically cut from an array after plating. This leaves exposed copper on the sides of the part. We'll often see smearing from the sawing process that
