J-STD-001 is your base requirement, but MIL and SPACE have stringent requirements for soldering gold plated terminals, e.g. this typical one: http://xweb.nrl.navy.mil/glast/CALDesign/CDE/CAL%20DPD%20Wire%20Cable%20Soldering%20and%20Staking%20Spec%20

That reminds me...We already have home plate apertures on our stencil. Try number 2...I tried an overall reduction based on the copper layer of 10% and used oval apertures. I hope that you guys can suggest something that I am over looking. I know tha

Since you have home plated the apts and done solder reduction, I would take a look at your soldering profile. We have run into this before when running no-clean and found that reducing the initial ramp rate to the flux activation was a help in the

I have a pcb with 750 plated through holes that get Holtite sockets inserted into them. I have a method of pressing in 10 sockets at a time. However, when we are done, the board has bad warpage on the X and Y axis. Does anyone out there have any t

Well, we got the baking part right at least. I would think that would help to rule out the barrel cracks allowing moisture escape. Plating too thin makes sense to me. In any case, do you think barrel cracking would be observable on a bare PCB?

My research starts here. I'm just beginning to research the effects of using a leaded part in a no lead process. Before I began, I know there are temperature differences. The part in question has a 260 C spec. Next I would like to find out if any c

I have an old philip Topaz, not X or Xi. Does anyone have an easy to follow Calibration procedure? I have a manual, glass plate and program but trying to understand the manual is a completed waste of time. This manual must be translate from Japanese.

I didn't know the difference for BGA. We found solderability probelm as show in attach.Then, we called to PCB maker and they said that it could be caused because of PCB finishing. Do you agree this probelm was happend because of PCB finishing? Unfor

First of all you need a new board house. You should quote us http://www.americancircuits.com. This really looks like a poor drilling operation with the blow holes. Blow holes are usually caused by two main problems. Improper drilling and/or moisture.

In my opinion destructive methods went out with the stone age. At least they did at our company. We specialize in non-destructive defect analysis. We can determine where the failure is i.e. assembly process, fab defect, BGA defect or plating proce
