Hi Gani, Immersion Ag finish has lesser shelf life as it can get more easily oxidized on exposure. However, I see concern in your Reflow profile. A few questions: Have you compared your reflow profile to the solder paste manufacturer's recommended pr

Hi I recently having problems on the components having non wetting on the flex circuits. The profile that I am using is according to the solder paste suppiler recommended. Can anyone pls. advise? Regards

Hi Sir, The diameter of the aperature is 17mil and thickness 6mil and since we are using Solder Paste Inspection i believe that should have a good paste deposit on this pad.Let say if no good paste it will more create insufficient solder which X-RAY

Hi rob, Thank you very much for your response. Profiling was made exactly on the pad, which showed dewetting, so the values are mentioned for this pad. PCB's is about a week old. It is possible that the surface of pads is already oxidized? I will t

3-6 months, say, depending on the environment), I might consider a ramp-soak-spike profile to allow sufficient time for the flux to clean any potential contaminants. Cheers, ..rob

Hello All, We have a problem with dewetting of solder paste. Problem is most visible on the pads without components (see attached pictures) and occurs randomly, 20% of PCB's. Pcb supplier sent us a cross-section of pads with thickness of Cu, Ni and

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

Is the solder reflowing on the pad but not wicking up the lead, or does there appear to be insufficient solder to wet both, or is it not reflowing at all, or.....? Have you verified your profile? What is the condition of your paste (expiration date,

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

What is the recommanded profile for board which consist of 0402 & 0201 comps. to reduce the effect of tomb-stone. Slow ramp rate ? how slow is considered as slow. Soak time 60 or 120 C,at which end should I stick to? what is the best time before reac
