Hey Gyver: Oooow, using a pencil eraser has to take time. I would hate to be the person responding to your customer trying to explain the pencil eraser shreds accidentally left on the board. Awww, just spritz it with DI water and wipe it off with

Hello. I have a problem with reflow soldering of PCBs with golden pads. Peste explodes in the oven. I don't know in witch phase of process (in what point of profile) it happens. It's the reason of problems with golden pads - it's dirty when going out

Recently we facing the Golden finger reject due to contamination with solder after the reflow. Any solution for this kind of reject ?

There are ledgitimate reasons for checking furnace calibrations, but let me clarify what that is. 1. TC's are not necessarily calibrted. Not unless you need "absolute" accuracy. TC's operate against a (non-linear) standard +/- a tolerance. Most

Hi David, thanks for reply We did doing some study, most properly this problem was due to reflow process. Any thing that we can do for the reflow profile ? slow down the ramp up rate or .....

Preemptively you can apply Kapton tape to protect the gold fingers during reflow. I think that's what most people do. After the fact, there are services available to clean them up but as it was described in another thread here, it is not in-expensiv

Hi, thanks for reply. Kapton tape is costly and it may create another handling issue. BTW can you share the thread for the cleaning process ?

Yes, thanks for bringing up that point, DaveF. All polyimide tapes are not created equal, and in my experience Kapton has always worked for this application. The "better deal" has not, ever.

You don't clean contaminated gold fingers so much as you replace them. I once had the "cleaning" solution. It totally dissolved the gold fingers so that they could be replaced.
