You problem will be related to the part type or the design. Standard 40 or 100 pin QFN or LGA parts are not going to drop due to weight as they are just a few grams. If you send a photo of the PCB pad footprint and the component separately I may be a

Larry Elaborating on the specific question, yes, the volatile solvents in the flux can and will evaporate. Evaporate completely in any reasonable amount of time? Probably not. What tends to happen is that the exposed paste dries on the surface and

A company called BEST makes a thing called Stencil Quik. It's like a stencil that sticks onto your board, you squeegee paste, place component/board and reflow. The Stencil Quik remains on the board. It prevents shorts and in your case could provid

We are currently wirebonding MCMs with surface components located in very close proximity to wirebond pads, which are gold plated. We are ball bonding with 99.99% Au wire. Normally we do not have problems, however if product has been reflowed seve

It depends on what the finished solder joint looks like after reflow. Use IPC to determine your solder joint acceptablity and check for solder shorts/solder misses to determine how far our of alignment you can go. Hope your not working with theta o

Hi All, We find out that some companents in leed free reflow soldering process have bad wetting and soldering This soldering problems caused by companent storage time after shipment Could somebody inform us about maximum storage time for different c

The problem that I see is the pads not soldered and I can see on the X-Ray the solder on the pad after reflow, and yes the solder has melted in a uniform fashion, I have not measured the diference of temperatures in each pad of the PCB, the size is a

The Reflow Soldering Interactive Test was well received in the industry with over 200 engineers testing their process knowledge. Now its time to take the Wave Soldering challenge and test you knowledge on soldering through hole and surface mount. Bot

One of our PCB for high reliability application is having 2 BGAs(11X11, ADV 204), The pitch is 1 mm. We decided to wire the BGAs first using re-flow soldering and the rest of the components by hand soldering. Since the PCBs are for high reliability a

Thanks 'hege for the info. Have you seen a reduction in solder defects after switching from Air Reflow to N2 Reflow? I'm curious, because in my experience of over 20 years, working at five different companies, (Jabil being one of them), I've never u
