For soldered areas, we like to keep gold thickness substantially below the maximum you propose. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for our discussions on the topic of acceptable levels of gold with solder connections. Let�s fix this �no one seems be s

Currently our company is in the process of putting together a SMT prototype line... I have experience with fuji, universal, DEK, MPM, BTU, Electrovet in a high volume application. Now with prototype builds we have narrowed down a few and would like

The point behind traces and vias on my test is that I don't only want to perform test on printing and placement but on reflow too, so a board with many components and no trace will not react like a board with traces on it. Unless you or someone else

Thank you all very much for the responses. The solder is eutectic and the problem, as far as I can tell, has been around before I was here, 2+ years. The flow machine is a treiber with 2 bottom preheaters and 1 top. The solder pot temp is 500F +/-4F

Well Greg, I don�t know YOUR 0805 Pads but if you look at the recommended pattern for 0805 in IPC-SM-782 you might notice that the Z-dimension is somewhat about the size of your 1206 part length. With that and assuming that you ask if the results wi

Whoa! I beg to differ my friend. The cure profile is VERY critical in Adhesive curing, especially if your are screen printing. When you screen print adhesive you are leaving it exposed to the atmosphere for a period of time. SMT adhesive by nature i

We have some BGA's that don't solder very well. They weren't properly stored in regards to moisture protection. The balls look dull and rough. After reflow there seemed to be a diffinate line between the balls and the solder on the PCB's. I think

All, Thanks for your answers and (CAaaaaal)yes I would like to have a detailed list please. This is a new field to me as I do have to look after a production in Europa and far east. Most of the times money is not a problem but,They want to know ho

I own and have read this book. While it is better than the average soldering book, it is not the first book that I reach for in trying to sort through a problem. It introduces a broad range of soldering methods with a reasonable amount of detail, b

Surfactant. A synthetic detergent made from petrochemicals that lowers the surface tension of water and allows better cleaning in small spaces. Do you have a cleaning issue that requires you to use a surfactant? If so, be aware that you must clean
