Hi ji tae, we had a similar problem with QFPs 0,5 pitch processed by one subcontractor. The symptoms we noticed were: - the solderjointshape and wetting looked normal - the surface had a dull gray appearance - by pushing a lead sideways with a tweez

Over-time lead separates from the tin in solder by force of nature [diffusion], but I assume that is not what you are talking about. Please help us understand your question better. Are you saying that the solder does not attach properly to the comp

Lifted pads are almost always caused by pad to substrate adhesion likely degraded significantly after too much heat. Poorly trained operators armed with soldering irons can do this expertly.

Continuing, I�ve optioned about the uselessness of shear testing of solder connections on this forum previously. So, the points that you make about the elusiveness of developing a standard for measuring solder connection strength is well taken. I�l

If there is a way to pre-tin the parts, that might help in forming better joint with gold.

Could be lots of things. With limited information about temperatures, solder alloy, and cleaning; we'll swing for the fence that you got these solder connections very hot. So hot that Pb oxide is dominating the solder joint surface instead of the

We had a solder joint problem in gold plated PLCC68 ic. We do double sided reflow process with Cookson OL107F paste. First we do top with paste and second with glue process.The solder joint shape and wetting looked normal.In the process of testing

The reliability of a Gullwing component solder joint is in question when insufficient solder is evident: *at the heel of the lead *at the toe of the lead *none of the above

Hi... We tend to do a lot of footprint calculating for new SMD components. But what about the amount of solder paste on the solder pads. The amount of solder alloy is of cause determined by the stencil aperture size, stencil thickness and the sold
