| The question raised by our components engineering group is, is it possible to tell whether these failures are thermally or mechanically induced. The focus of design engineering up until now has been on process. Are our reflow temps ok, are the pa

Hi Randy, No-clean flux needs to be activated in order to burn off the volatiles in the flux. This normally occurs partly during preheat and certainly during the reflow or soldering process. In most hand soldering applications, an operator applies

| | | | Is there any problem using SMT on gold boards? 15 years ago we were told not to use gold boards, but I can't remember why. Judging by the other postings it now appears to be common. Only problem I see is that the nickel should be plated, n

Oooo, I get it. We do that trick on the wave solder side of boards. On the bare board, during design / layout, the basic shape of the jumper is a 125 thou disc of copper [that of course is eventually covered with whatever solderability preservative

Hi All, We are producing a veriety of RF related PCBAs in which we see Unsolder/Mislaigned on a regular basis. In these baords usually one of the pad is connected to a signal trace and the other pad is connected to very huge ground plane. This gro
