Designers love to do BIG copper pours for several reasons: * Maximize heat spreading. * Increase EMI shielding. * Laziness. The poor folk that solder the parts on boards HATE big copper planes near solder pads. During soldering, fat copper traces [

On one of our designs, we use LEDs Lite-On/LTST-S110TB (SMD). PCB footprint was designed according to manufacturer's recommendations. However, our vendor has problems with assembling these parts. Some parts are tilted, other have bad solder joints or

Mike, When we measure solder inspection yield by dividing the number of defective joints on a CCA by the total number of joints on the PWB. A defective joint is classified only once. That is we don't count multiple defects on the same joint. Our

Rick, Ultrasonics is a mechanical scrubbing action (cavitation) similar to any other scrubbing action, if you scrub long enough, you stand the chance of wearing away some of the surface material (shiny coating of a solder joint). The shiny coat on a

Is there anything on the other side of the board? If not the process will be very standard. 1. SMT - place the small parts on your board. It is called surface mount technology. Basically one machine applies solder paste on the board, another machine

Hello All, I recently had a case of excessive tin coming from a solder pot sample. The solder is SN63 but the results of testing had a 64.97% for Sn. The J-STD-001 spec is 61.5% to 64.5%. The pot is used to pre-tin wires which will then be solder
