Has anyone in the industry had even a fair amount of success inspecting reflowed solder joints to IPC class 3 standards? I am not interested in hearing from system reps or people who work for an AOI manufacturer. Thanks,

90% of the assemblies our company produces are class 3 and we have no problem at all inspecting or getting class 3 quality through reflow. Rarely do we have touch up because of insufficient or poorly reflowed solder joints. What are the problems you

We are not having a problem, we have a customer that would like us to use post reflow AOI to inspect the solder joints to class three. I would like to see if anyone is having sucess doing this.

I don't think you can find any specs on that. As long as a solder joint can not be broken by virtually "blowing over it" any reading on the UTS, or shear strength can be very confusing. You can specify, though that the assembly (joint) should withsta

We had the data at the time and it was quite high. More false calls then anything. I do not have the data anymore it since has been archived. When the system was introduced we had 1 engineer and 2 operators trained for programming and running the

Does anyone know the current cost to repair a defective solder joint? I seem to recall a number quoted a few years ago of $1.03 per joint with burden of overhead. I've also seen numbers from 50 cents to 50 dollars per joint.

I'm running intrusive reflow. What happened was when the board went thru' the first reflow ( which is secondary side ), at Post reflow, I can see the solder joint quality is very good smooth and shiny. But when we proceed with the 2nd reflow, at Post

About 2 years ago our company tried to go with a post reflow AOI inspection. This AOI was suppose to be able to inspect to a level class 3 product. **It is impossible** You cannot inspect for a heel fillet and inspecting for poor wetting is a very

It's easy to reject everything is it? IPC offers excellent training courses for inspectors in interpreting A-610.

Yes we are using "silicones", but to find this contaminant we were looking for "silicon" the element by SEM/EDS. We use Dow materials and my contact there is checking to see if they have any info.
