What you are most likely dealing with: Insufficient Pure Sn layer ( multiple causes ) Because elevated temperatures accelerate the diffusion process, the thickness of the Pure Sn layer will reduce during every thermal cycle... ( bakeing PCBs, S

Q1a. If the thickness of the silver is too much (how is too much??), A1a. We have heard stories of using Ag2 to limit silver [or gold] dissolution, but have never seen formal studies to demonstrate that idea. First, exclude the use of silver plate

We design a broad range of DC/DC power supplies for various telecom, internet, and computor applications and have been succesfully using intrusive reflow for ~7 years now. Our pcbs range from 0.065 to 0.090 in thickness and are moslty dense 4 to 8 la

We are currently struggling with a particularly difficult component selection form our designers. This is a custom BGA, 592 balls, metal cover with a very large bead of adhesive using to retain the cover. We have had significant fallout (greater th

WEll Im hearing all this talk about leadfree nonsense from the engineering dept at my place of employment.Let me tell you Ive been looking at this stuff for 12 yrs and i think tearing of the filet is a normal part of the solder joint kindof like dros

Amol, I thought I answered your question in another thread, dude! Anyway, to re-iterate. Yes, I was able to pull it off a hybrid profile. The LF BGA passed tensile testing, but no, it wasn't thermally cycled or stressed first to expose any latent

The NexLev connector is built in a stripline construction, providing a continuous ground plane for each signal contact. The connectors come as tenrow connectors with 100, 200, or 300 positions at possible stacking heights from 10 mm to 30 mm. Technic

Hi First I think you have to analize your PCB design. Heavy weight components should be gathered on one side of PCB. As I think, if you want to reflow both sides simultaneously there might be a problem. A chance that large components will drop off

We are a small company, reletivly new to doing our own SMT (1 year) and we are having an issue, I think. We manufacture many board with no problems, but we have one that constently defeats us. This particular PCB has ENIG finish, and we have had th

Rob and Pete are both right. "We" had the same problem, with just one manufacturer of the same style QFP (don't want to name names here). We had the same style of QFP from a different manufacture right next to the problematic one on about 3 product
