Hi I am pretty sure it isn't the pad that is causing the problem. To me it seems like those via holes through the pcb either to an internal plane or to the other side. I can imagine creating an interesting stencil to accomodate the vias yet you are

Hello Everyone, Is anyone out there building smt boards that have plated through vias directly located through the pads. We are seeing some of these designs and the soldering is very poor because the solder is flowing through the via. We think that w

Hi, About Thombstone defects: 1.Placement accuracy-main reason 2.Soldering-should be right on pads.The print should have regular shape.The quontity of the solder on both pads on one component have to be equal. 3.Reflow: the profile have to be made v

Here is what I have been finding lately. We switched to a 22mil square pad on 40 mil centers (from the IPC "75/25"). ALL OF OUR TOMBSTONES HAVE GONE AWAY! (at least for now) we did not change profiles, paste, or any other parameter. Obviously placem

Yep, only the MLF have this blowhole/pinhole issue. Other components like SOT(transistor), CAP, RES are hey-o-kie. Btw, MLF = micro lead frame (IC/LGA) package. looks like a BGA without the solder balls. has direct attachment to the PCB ENIG pads wi

Hi Dave, thanks! The peak temp on the terminal device is about 210C. Some more questions: The soldering part of the terminal is about the same size as the PCB pad. We observe a lot of voids when we remove the terminal device, whice can be removed v

Thanks Dave.F. I 've carefully read what you recommended,but still can't get the answer.it's two different suppliers with diffrent pad patterns of each components.one of them can work well,while the other cant do.I think it must has something to do w

Your fabricator should be able to re-apply the imm tin very easily. Actually, if we had boards like you describe [and we were sure we didn't mess them up], we'd be be making strong implications that our fab would need to make this right. Don't pin

Emergency!!! We have a small run (5) of very dense boards that have an immersion tin finish. They were built in April/May and have a heavy tarnish appearance on them, smd pads and through holes. We are being asked to apply ssd to the surface mount pa

Well after reading all kinds of stuff about this I still question if it is my current problem BUT, how common is this??? I dont want to be afraid of the boogie man but it seems like a lot of folks are having problems with black pad. I have used imers
