Hello Dr. Abell! We are a small co. from India already running class room training programs in ESD as well as SMT. Have recently added web based training programs in SMT. I have read through yr profile & I find you have worked in the area of Distance

From solder material point of view, a solder paste with slow coalescence rate, or slow wetting rate, will be most desirable. Processwise, allowing the paste to stay at soaking zone for longer time will dry out the volatiles, and reduce the chance of

What does the reflow profile look like , the question I had was surrounding the higher reflow temperature and the max temperature that lowest thermal mass components will see. Some other questions that I had were surrounding the components , what of

Good morning Bob. Darby from Australia here. We sometimes see an orange peel type finish on our reflow solder joints when viewed under the microscope. Any ideas on what causes this ? Should I worry about it. I use a straight rise profile ( no "platea

Can anyone shed some light on this for me ? Subject: Soldering to Immersion Tin surface finish I am looking for info. (pro and con) and/or 1st hand knowledge processing PCB's with Immersion Tin finish through SMT and Wave. Do profiles need to be di

Have been having problems with the above IC but dont know why. Our profile is well within the manufacuters recommendations. We are getting a higher than desired first off fail rate and are concerned. It is not possible to inspect the soldering as the

Thanks Dave. About your second comment, the issue is placing BGA connectors mirror image (male, and female), the connector sometimes shifts during placement before reflow. we are using a six mil stencil for both sides with minimum paste deposit. a

I would suggest getting a copy of IPC-SM-782A, Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard, and IPC-7525 Stencil Design Guidelines. My experience is that reflow does not cause tombstoning very often. Pad and land design, paste volume, and placemen

I have made reference to X-ray Ball Bond Signatures a number of times, and I cannot overstate the importance of quickly qualifying the overall ball bond pattern as either uniform in size and shape or not. Software is available that will make this qua
