a) Is there a recommended dip or dwell time for the dip soldering? Check your data sheet for the part. Dwell time is everything in selective soldering. Top side wetting is a good process indicator. b) How do we improve the solder coverage in the

The component should float into place provided you have the correct amount of solder paste. Perform a solderability test on the pads. We have come across new components with oxidation that prevents wetting. This will cause components to not self ali

Reading some spec sheets and am seeing profiles for reflow and TTW soldering. A Google search tells me that TTW means "through the wave". Am seeing this acronym on LEDs mostly. I have never seen this acronym before. Why not just wave or reflow so

Hi Grant, You already have a few good answers. If you have but one to a few BNC connectors I would kind of use the advice here or do what you already are doing aka hand soldering. I would not install a Wave Solder line for a really low volume of BN

Fillet lifting is a phenomenon mostly observed at wave soldering. It is caused by mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient (TCE) between solder and parts, and aggravated by the pasty range of solder alloys. Upon cooling, the mismatch in TCE will cau

Fabs can produce a solder mask web between 20 pitch leads, but I've never seen a web for 16 pitch leads. Although, I would like know a supplier that can lay-down a fine web. Minimum solder mask web width is about 0.004 thou. An absolute mininum o

The minimum vertical hole fill is defined as follows: Class 1: Not specified, with a 270-degree circumferential fillet and wetting on the secondary (solder source side) of lead and barrel, and a 75% coverage of the land area on the secondary side. Cl
