I have an issue with PLCC Insufficient Heel solder joint fillet.The aperture dimension is : 30 x 100 mils on PCB & on stencil also(1:1 per gerber).Rohs Process. My stencil thickness is 5mils due to presence of Tssop & QFP package & i cannot increase

We have the occasional solder fine but the main issue I have is with small - large balls of solder around an 0402 capacitor. Our LF paste data sheet states a %rH of 25 - 70, I have recorded an average for March of 14.9 - 38.5 %rH. Every other requirm

Hello, Attached is the X-ray picture of a SMT transistor. Please give me your opinion whether this is a good solder or not. From my view, I did not see any solder in the middle pad. I feel it is a production problem. But someone told me unless you s

Melanie: We're with AVFOM. If you don't believe there is solder on the pads, use a beer can opener to pop the component off the board and you will have your answer. Easy-peasy. Who ever told you 'if there is solder, there is voids' in solder connect

Just want to ask. What is the effect of dull gold surface on solderability? When I made a test run with several pieces containing dull gold defect on the pad(of varying levels), I found that components can still stick to the pad with good amount o

I got this MQFP-144 and the soldering looks always very flimsy. I think I use a suitable leaded paste (water-soluble) and the stencil thickness is also OK. The IC on the image looks a bit shifted, that's not the problem. The problem is rather that

No, don't put weight on it. If the part is really "floating" on the solder and not wetting properly and the solderability looks good on all your other parts then I'd suspect a part problem. Get with the QFP supplier and make sure the Sn isn't too t

Hello all, We just got some board back from thermal shock and we found that several of the 2512 resistors opened up. Actaully the solder joint cracked away from the board. All other coponents look great. Boards were good before test. 10 layer bo

We agree with you. Recognize that these new solder connections have less metal and a lower standoff than similar BGA solder connections that have not been reworked. This could reduce the reliability of your product, somewhat. Flux or gel may be use

Hi Zaza Thanks. Again, very appreciate if you advise me where I can get the SN100C solder bar that is water soluable. Now I'm checking Nihon Superior(Singapore) whether they have or not. As our customer's preference, we have to use the watersoluab
