We have a problem with QFN IC's with NiPdAu plated pads. Our ULC's don't see the pads due to the almost ideal reflection. Vision sees the pads almost black. As we don't have OAL-cameras (which can help in this case, I assume), I am thinking of back-l

Steve, This is a good, well repeated, not identified by IPC yet issue. I, and some others in industry, for years have proven and recommended smaller pads for various devices. I, and some others in industry, use 0402 pads for 0603 device types. IPC o

Does anyone know of an established guideline for thickness requirements? Our smaller pads continue to receive a thicker solder deposition when we measure by the larger pads for process accessibility and vice versa for the larger pads when we measure

Please give us more information about the source of the solder that you mention. Is it: * HASL applied by your supplier * Solder on pads after wave soldering * Solder paste after printing * Solder on pads after reflow soldering ... or what?

Take a few parts from the reel and look close at > the parts to make sure the bottom surface of the > leads is below the bottom surface of the body. Yes I did that and they are below the body. I found the problem I think. The solder mask is abo

We are Currently running a Board and it seems that the SOT-223's on the bottom side have flux and water trapped under the part. Nothing has changed in our process and this is the only board that it is happening on. We are using Kester R562 water wa
