Can anyone comment on inspection criteria for PIH applications. I'm of the opinion that the inspection criteria used for wave soldered joints should be used for PIH. Some colleagues believe that a bottom side fillet is not necessary since the solde

We are currently producing a project that brings a TQFP64. But some boards do not solder the component well with its ideal fillet, some are well soldered when they come out of the reflow oven, but some are not. Can the pins be sulphated? How can we c

Casimir, The Q and other lead trimmers work extremely well if properly used. Blade life is directly proportional to to the height of the cut. There are a few factors that are very important in trimming. You are working with a solid carbide blade whi

David, you can beat around the bush interpreting criteria, but without X-ray you will not see anything. This is the way to go to inspect this solder joints properly. Criteria is 75% fillet and than you have circumference, air gaps in there....

Hi, Distance Engineering is always difficult. I am guessing that the old machine and process ran wonderfully / acceptable. If you still have the old machine, how about running an empty board through it and then the new machine. Without flux observ

Hi, Do you have a picture on one of these leads where the solder has covered the lead ? As this is a gull wing device I wouldn't expect solder to cover it. I expect to see a toe fillet / wetting around the sides of the lead and a heel fillet. If your

I'm not familiar with Laser Soldering. I don't believe it to be a problem with the QFP themselves, since the two plastic parts are from different vendors in the same package. We also are having similar problems with other plastic parts on other boa

ran an internet search on "intrusive reflow", out popped various links on the subject. Bob Willis was rather prominent on the topic's links. anyway seems intrusive reflow soldering specs are the same as conventional manual insertion (radial, axial)
