A couple of things that have helped me with solder ball issues at wave in the past: 1. Flux. Insure good flux coverage on the bottom of the board. 2. Preheat. Insure that the board is sufficiently preheated for the wave operation. Since you're

We are having issues with solder flooding some through hole pin receptacles which have an organic fiber plug on the soldering end. Anyone else use these types of receptacles and soldering with selective solder. Appears the plugs may be not sealed w

Customer has tried OA and NC alloy solder pads may be nickel Chromium. Non-wetting issue. Scraping pad alloys a bit of adhesion of solder but no intermettalic bond. Any suggestions?

I would suspect if you had a full evaluation done there would be the same issue with Nickel oxidation everywhere. The reason BGA's fall off (or have solder connection issues first) is due to their size. A slight flex in the board has a much larger im

Just a few thoughts, as we use similar quite frequently without issues. Ensure correct support when pasting the board, especially if it is thin. Correct support when placing the part. Is it placed correctly by the machine? If it is very slightly of

Tantalum caps degrade over time. You should not be seeing "chipped-off & cracks" regardless of the age. This should not be a shelf-life issue, unless you are storing them in an aquarium. Tell us the story. Solderability is a shelf-life issue and

Hi, We are using 10+2 reflow oven ( BTU Pyramax 150 ). We have tried with short TAL ( RTS profile too ). As of Now we are using the attached profile, which has given us lot better results. But the issue is not eliminated. Thanks

Attached is one more profile we have tried with high reflow time. The issue with before and this profile is reduced a lot. But not eliminated.

I am having problems with a product we receive from our overseas plant, where there is excessive "dullness" of solder joints/metal surfaces after running a board on a pallet through wave solder. Seems to be an issue of the pallet, as the solder appe

Q1) How to identify on good or bad RF shield that could contribute to dewetting? A1) We use Alloy 770 and 752 [German silver] for our RF shields. We have never seen a solderability issue, even aged stock solders well. * Nickel Alloy 752, Nickel Silv
