rather than applying jumpers, try thinking it another way. Have all possible jumper connections pre-made by the fab design. Use an exacto or dremel to "open" the undesired paths by removing a bit of copper trace. total flexibility, only one fab make

Before changing solder pastes or jumping through too many hoops, check the melting point of the 100 Sn (pure tin) connection. According to Kester, the melting point of 100Sn solder paste is 232 degrees C. If you do not reach that temperature, you wi

What is the maximum allowable thermal ramp rate for wave solder. We have a "short" machine used for selective soldering. To get the boards up to temp, we need to exceed our normal 2�C/sec. Are there any IPC documents governing this process? Anyon

Are there any formalized standards for the properties of solder balls? Example properties: sphericity uniformity(variance) of the ball size distribution surface roughness surface oxidation or other surface treatments/contaminants ?? As someone rela

Would someone be able to direct me to information on residual BGA stress please? I've been told that mounting the BGA involves residual stress to the solder balls due to different expansion characteristics of the BGA versus the board at the moment of

Don�t your recent findings on soldering defects point towards less need for AOI? Besides that, I imagine that with 100% control and having only good prints being processed while the bad ones getting washed and reprint you will see this magical 0%. Sh

Hi Everyone, I am currently looking for a simple testing setup procedure to conduct solderability test in my small lab. Just wonder if anyone has any idea what kinds of equipment or preparation I need to get started. Any input like what website to g

Try looking at your reflow profile. If he slope is too steep you may get solder balls. I've had the same problem, had to slow down the profile a bit. If you'd like, there was discution on wave soldering chart.. and Speedline one hase some points f

Selective soldering machines are a good way to "finish automation", if the design of the PCB is conducive to the application with just a few components to solder. Your points are good. A decision matrix for selecting a machine might also include:
