Hi there. We have had an out of control reflow oven that has allowed its temperature to fluctuate by up to +/- 20 deg C from set point in very short periods of time. We found the root cause of the problem and fixed it, but by then we had already run

We're trying a selective soldering pallet for the first time with mixed reviews. Are solder balls a prevalent problem with this process? Most of them seem to correspond with pallet wall locations....is it too much turbulence from the rotary chip wav

All, What if BGA solder crack do exist after the shock test? Its happen at the corner of the BGA. Base on your experience, what are the potential root causes? Thanks, Sean

J Rose at EMPF says: The introduction of no-clean solder fluxes in electronics manufacturing has given rise to greater levels of solder balling simply because the opportunity to remove them in the wash process does not exist. They are typically cause

One of the common causes of solder ballin is also outgassing from the boards have your tested the board for outgassing? Bob Willis

My company has been having issues with a lot of solder balls, solder splash, and flux balls all over a specific board. Now this is one of the only companies that require us not to clean our boards after our work is finished but this is also causing a

| There is a practise within the industry of an Inspector inspecting a board, and that same Inspector performing touch-up. My opinion is that the Inspection and Touch-up operations should be separate functions whereby the Inspector is not performing

Now you have to find the root cause, before you continue. Is it PCB design or printer setup? Or both contribute?

Hi, Say I'm going to calculate my PPM and DPMO, do I have to include in my defects data an item that the root cause is already identified? example is if I have 4 components with Land Design issues (incorrect dimension) and is causing me insufficient

IMHO I would avoid sprayed silicones like the plague. They can travel around your facility and cause solder wetting issues that you will never know the root cause for. Also found this e-drive article on using silicones around motors and relays. Loo
