By profile (profile has not been changed) are you referring to the oven zone settings or the actual charted profile of a trip through the oven as recorded by a thermal profiler? Some ovens will continue to function without warning as long as temps

Hi Dave, This particular p/n calls for print&etch for wet process..and the problem occured due to surface contamin. with resist residue resisting copper from etching off. The high pressure nozzle was a problem at developing oper. and it is fixed now

The size of the pad changes among the two. A solder mask defined pad will always be larger than a copper defined by your mask expansion setting. This will affect paste volume, if your standard paste aperture is designed for copper defined pads you m

Yes solder is reflowing on the pad but doesnt wick up the lead. Solder paste is sufficient. It just forms a saddle like appearance beneath the failing lead. The failed lead doesnt get reflowed at all. What puzzles me is how can hundreds of leads wet

Steve- We had the same trouble with 0805 Panasonic film caps. We had some tombstoning and open solder joints (non-wetting). We found two problems...like you, we changed our pad design to meet their recommendation. Also, they were able to suppl

I agree with the two other replies. Left alone, it is a defect. If it's just excess adhesive or coating, you can use IPC-7711/7721 'Rework, Modification and Repair of Electronic Assemblies' for guidance on removing. Section 2.3.1 explains how to te

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

Dear all, I´d like to ask You, if somebody faced similar situation like we are facing in our plant right now. We have wetting problems with some of our products. During SEM/EDX we found on non-wetted parts residues of Mineral oil - white - heavy. Do

Hi What is the possible cause of non-wetting of solder paste to the gold land pad. What we observed in the surface of the non-wet pad is an organic FM, and using FTIR we found out that it is a flux. It is possible that the cause of non-wetting is

Chris: Typical non-wetting causes are: * Poorly controlled soldering process * Incorrect material * Surface contamination * Insufficient preheat * Misapplied solder mask * Shadowing Without intending to insult you, all of the causes of non-w
