Hey Sal. Requests I typically receive from management stay just that - requests! Maby its just me but unless you have a single line capable of full double sided capability (printer, P&P, flipper (inverter), printer, P&P, reflow oven) the extra trou

I have recently come across a device which has a palladium over nickel finish which when soldered shows evidence of poor wetting to the lead ( i.e. a wetting angle greater than 90�) about three quarters of the way up the side of lead. This is only vi

1 Solder on gold fingers comes from: 1a About 70 % of the time it's caused by poor cleaning of screen printer, staging area (table), conveyor, reflow oven chain or belt, and keeping boards separate from cleaning process 1b After loading paste onto

Hey guys, I ran a couple of profile in our wave solder machine using wave optimizer and this is what i got: Parallelism = 0.0 Immersion Depth = 2.1mm to 2.4mm with varying immersion time from 1.1 sec to 3.1 secs. Contact Length = between 5.0 to 6.0

Various lint free stencil wipe suppliers take various approaches to stencil cleaning. For instance ... Techspray Directions: Start with a dry TechClean Wipe (2358, 2361, or 2362) to remove excess solder pastes. Follow this with the 1608 Pre-Saturat

Well, it's hard to say what it started out as, a smear, splash or ball cause the solder formation on the finger after reflow is spread out ya know. I looked at an archive for possible causes and one was printer operators with paste on their fingers.

What's the reality of the situation? Are you creating a specmanship issue here just to satisfy Class 3? Can you demonstrate that the paste volume applied to the plastic QFP's give sufficient overall fillets for mechanical and electrical properties? W

The Solderballs are on the botton side of the board.The solderballs are concentrated around through hole edge connectors, which have a Tin/lead finish and have lead pitch of 2.5mm, on top of this, random solderballs are occuring around test points. T

If the thermal mass of the products is small, a tent-shaped profile is recommended, with peak temperature around 240C. The hottest spot on board should be less than 250C. However, if the thermal mass of the product is large, such as a large server PC
