| Regardless of what various inspection standards state, has anyone got any information on how the strength of a soldered joint changes with the amount of solder in contact with the legs. ie if there is 0.152um depth of contact how does the joint st

We�d say that it�s incorrect that ENIG solderability protection cannot be steam aged. It�s true the immersion tin and silver cannot be steam aged. We believe that most of the issues surrounding the poor performance of ENIG after steam aging is attr

Hey guys, I ran a couple of profile in our wave solder machine using wave optimizer and this is what i got: Parallelism = 0.0 Immersion Depth = 2.1mm to 2.4mm with varying immersion time from 1.1 sec to 3.1 secs. Contact Length = between 5.0 to 6.0

Andrew, As I read about issues with reworking connectors, whether they are surface mount or PTH soldered, I wonder if compliant pin pressfit connectors are being considered. They are easily assembled after all SMT without any thermal input, and on e
