Hi Mr. Necdet Ozyonum, Recently we did have same kind of problems when we use lead free reflow profile for leaded solder paste (AIM WS-483). There where solder resist lacks, we found white residue after aqueous cleaning. Not in the solder joints but

Good day! As we all know the normal recommended solder paste(Sn62/Pb37) reflow profile time is around 40~60sec above the temperature of melting point. Now I'm setting my peak temperature at the high site of solder paste recommended spec. due to metal

What you are seeing on your gold fingers is referred to as flux spattering. This is a very commond problem with gold fingers if you have a zero flux spattering criteria for quality control. The key to eliminating this problem is in the reflow profi

At reflow an inert atmosphere is used to mitigate the occurance of oxidation, to me the decision weather to move from an inert atmosphere is based on several things ; PCB surface finish - are you using a HASL finish, OSP or another surface finish and

You might try reducing your solder paste volume. To much solder paste gives the part a pool to float in, nullifying the positive effect of surface tension. I use an aperture on stencil for the heat sink which is 5mils reduced on each side and a 25mil

We have been having a solder paste reflow issue which results in the solder not wetting to the LED lead. The solder appears to create "puddles" on the pcb pad. I have attached AOI image for review. We have had the pads analyzed for contamination, w

Yes....interesting. Word is this better be successful for them or they are done. At first glance my issue would be what impact do solder paste "dots" have in the following areas compared to stenciled paste: 1) Controllable with regards to volume 2

Medium?? We prefer fully-baked. No, no. It's hearing messages from just about any dead component or board. "Wooo. Chunks. You dove me in the wave solder machine a year ago. I forgive you, because I never saw myself working in a karaoki bar."

If the HASL was poor quality and very thin you would find this defect....but you would expect to see it on more pads also. Also, you'd expect to see your solder from your solder paste either dewetted on the pad or reflowed onto the BGA sphere making

Hello, can someone share good practise how to calculate how many percent solder paste can be applied on solder mask for better solderability (by increasing stencil aperture). In eg, aperture is increased 30 percent, could it be more? Where find this
