Wow, what a string of answers and nobody brought up the easiest way to eliminate solder balls. Yes, the paste being squished under the part does reflow and work it's way out to the side during reflow. I did a 5 week study on this (when I was a bori

Groovy!!! [Sorry, I always wanted to say that.] As background, look at: * SMTnet Archives * "Pocket Guide to Excellent V-Scoring" and "Scoring FAQ's" [http://www.accusystemscorp.com] they cover all of the dimensions and give a short summary on the

The method you suggest is about the only way to �clean-up� this terrible situation. Realistically, this is a "memory" type condition induced by design, build symmetry, "cross ply construction", excessive cool down rates during lamination or reflow a

my guys SOP : Round #1 1) take double-side tape, and peel it flat to the PCB. 2) process this PCB only through P&P SMT. 3) confirm the SMD placement Round #2 4) take thin plastic sheet and tape corners flat to the PCB. 5) solder paste print over t

This all depends on the mixture of your solder. If you are using water soluable flux then it will get clean. But not alcohol based flux. As for using the ultrasonic this might be a problem I personally have never heard of someone washing a board in a

Has any one experienced hand soldering through hole components to white tin plated PCB's using no-clean wire solder? Our facility is presently evaluating white tin vs Sn/Pb coatings. Our only difficulty at this time has been hand soldering of wires

Hi all, Best Thing Since Sliced Bread? No doubt many of you have seen Phil Zarrow's "over-the-top" review in Circuits Assembly of the new Ersa scope, a device that allows viewing a really neat close up a side view of the component substrate interface
