Dave, thanks for the info. This sounds like it would verify the presence of an open. We have verified that these balls are open and I am trying to figure out if we are fracturing or not wetting. causing these opens. I would use the die method on ne

How did you come to the conclusion that you are having a cold joint problem. Just by appearance ? As Dave stated if you have any of the metals that he listed in the joints they will appear to be dull and grainy sometimes. But... Dave, I will have t

Cleaning RMA fluxes simply requires selecting a washing chemistry (either Solvent, Semi-aqueous or Aqueous) and an appropriate cleaning sytem. Your lot size would be easily handled with a batch system. visit http://www.aat-corp.com/Technical/Def

Hi Ken, We would build a one off with an exact number of components on a different line, in a different manor completely to a volume, chipshooter job - however, we'd only really be doing a one off like that if it was a prototype as we're not in that

I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but a technique that's worked very well in the past for me is to methodically step through every part of the process and observe your boards being built, or take a scrap or simulated one a

Hi there! After various trial-error experiments we determined that two factors are the most insignificant in order to reduce or make worst the issue, those factors are: Placement force: regular placement vs "force applied" to dip the component on th

I have used LTS (Sn57.6%Bi0.4%Ag) solder balls for soldering on Ni/Au pads, and I have observed a wrinkle pattern on the ball surface. When you attempted soldering on CuOSP substrate pads under the same conditions, the surface appeared normal. Additi

Mario, I tried a couple of profiles. In all cases the preheat ramps fairly slow, while the reflow utilizes the radiative heater to speed to reflow as quick as possible. I tried a quick profile and a slower one. The quick has about 15-20 sec at pre

Hi If you mean your PCB stayed in the Reflow oven more than the reflow time required for the solder paste specs then I suggest to throw away the board because it would lead over heated solder joints all over the board. Think what could happen to an
