Ammonia in Peelable solder mask compatability to lead free

Electronics Forum | Wed Jun 22 15:03:12 EDT 2005 | patrickbruneel

The only thing ammonia can do is tarnish copper and make it more difficult to solder. And the higher temp in lead-free will discolor the latex (giving it a sticky surface), but the functionality of the mask will be intact. There should be greater co

How to improve the solder quality of QFN?

Electronics Forum | Mon Jun 27 09:38:30 EDT 2005 | Bob R.

What problems are the quality people seeing? I hope they aren't expecting a toe fillet. QFNs are typically cut from an array after plating. This leaves exposed copper on the sides of the part. We'll often see smearing from the sawing process that

How to improve the solder quality of QFN?

Electronics Forum | Fri Jul 15 13:58:32 EDT 2005 | seaK

Our production is putting QFN40 and QFN56 package on board. With 80% opening on terminal, 40% on thermal pad, we found QFN56 100% forming toe fillet, but it does not work out the same to QFN40. We suspect it's because of the weight of component.....

Use of solder paste after taking out from cold storage

Electronics Forum | Sat Nov 05 05:09:51 EST 2005 | ajay

we do keep out solder paste ready for next shift or for replenish. We specified a location to keep new paste ( only one container ) near stencil machine. As soon as that is use we put another container from freeze, we make sure that at specified loca

Long term effect of lead free solder on plating

Electronics Forum | Mon Feb 27 09:31:10 EST 2006 | Slaine

on sections ive looked at with 7 microns of silver and 4microns of copper, the silver had been totally absorbed into the solder in most places and a large amount in some places all the copper as well, so i think the answer is that to provide long ter

SAC solder balls reflow with Sn/Pb paste - Voids Issue

Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 04 14:48:49 EDT 2006 | cw

My soak at 150C - 180C for approx. 85sec to 100sec. I believe this is sufficient. I can't change my paste because customer wants to use SnPb paste with SAC solder balls. They claimed that they have sucessful result with other CM. I need to know if

Wave soldering problem - strange colour of the solder

Electronics Forum | Fri Jan 19 11:34:13 EST 2007 | realchunks

I thought the same thing but he did mention density. I threw out the color thing immediately - which is normal. But to NOTICE a density proble with set programs seem aby-normal. Unless one our maintenance guys got a hold of your machine for a PM.

solder paste alloy effect on high frequency board

Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 10 12:04:54 EDT 2007 | russ

everything else EXACTLY the same? meaning exact same product number from the same manufacturer same fluxes used in the paste? no additional no clean "touchup" or hand soldering operations? No expert by any means but it would seem odd to me that the

Uncoalesced solder problem in fine pitch IC pads

Electronics Forum | Mon Sep 08 09:59:56 EDT 2008 | vladig

Here we go with another "solderability problem". How do you know the pads on the bare PCB are oxidized? Just based on its colour? If that is the root cause, then why ohter parts on the same board are fine? If you want to solve the problem, get it's

very cheap way to reclaim solder from dross

Electronics Forum | Mon Oct 13 11:27:51 EDT 2008 | dwelch123

For 15 years I have used a similar method, only I used two bread pans. You can fit alot more solder in them. In one pan I drilled holes very similar to the photo in one pan and used a reclaiming agent such as Kleenox to prep it a bit. Then used the o
