Hi everybody, I found a defect varistor 0603 Tombstone and poor welting when we use component that terminal is Silver palladium (Ag/ Pd) with Leaded solder paste (63/37). Then we change alternative component that terminal is Ni/ Sn the result not fou

Get the ionic specs from your flux manufacturer, and show it to the designer. No-clean flux/solder is supposed to be low to minimal in ionic contamination, which allow the whole no-clean thing. If he needs further proof, you can have the board io

You are playing with fire; you evaluate and specify paste for your products/SMT line, when you start adding tacky flux or whatever to your paste you don't really know what you are then dealing with - it osn't what you evaluated. We use solder paste f

Hello, tried searching the SMTnet archives, but not yet a clear answer - maybe there is not a one yet ? ;) last discussion I found is few years old so maybe there is a fresh view on that? Q: we want to prove that our proces is "clean" we use SAC30

Hi. I know that this is one of the mos common threads here, I have been doing some research, but i didn't find any similar. The main issue is that I have seen tombstoning since two weeks ago, it is more characteristic on 0603 resistors (Stackpole e

It is CSP reliability issue, which is the mobile CPU from Spreadtrum. All the tests passed and shipped to customer. They assembly them and tested but failed. After they reflow this CSP with hot air gun, some of the boards passed. We got some board

I agree with dlm. We have been using Hakko irons for our lesd free soldering for about 6 months now. They work great and the tips are relatively inexpensive - $9 to $15, plus they last a very long time compared to our previous brand that we used. The

We are also having some issues with certain small parts. In our case this is tantalum caps and 0402 caps. We had a vendor admit after much discussion that the plating used from a particular orgin was different on the tantalums. The tehory is thatthsi

Hi, there are different BGA packages, it's not same to rework LFBGA with 0.5 mm step and BGA with 1.27 mm step for instance basically you will be able to de-solder the BGA with hot air and proper nozzle which distributes the heat even on the BGA pa

Does anyone have an easy way to estimate how much solder paste is applied to a smt pcb? I understand it varies on squeegee pressure, stencil thickness, and pitch of the components but I was looking for an average. I would assume that somewhere out th
