Folks, I am interested in learning more about solder robbing pads to help and avoid bridging for wave solder applications. I have heard of a few companys that use this process in their design but have not seen any documents for design rules etc.

I' designing a PCB with SMD components to optimize the land patterns for wave soldering. I find that the IPC-SM-782 land patterns are not robust enough for wave soldering, yielding ramdom skips and bridges. This PCB will also give me insight on sha

Hi Dave, The paste applied to the board ends up on the tombstone. The pad has a thin covering of solder most of the time, this is why I think they call it a dewet. Occasionally the pad shows some areas of gold and very rarely are some pads not wet at

Hi there. We are considering to attach die chip with solder paste to the pcb at the SMD line (we are used to attach it with silver epoxy at the die bonding line before). This is a whole new method to me, so I'd like to have some opinions here. Where

Your lack of obvious solder balls indicates you have a decent process. However, there are still small solder balls that are free and floating on the surface of the boards prior to wash. That same solder ball is washed off and ends up in the wash solu

The steadfast rule of thumb is: In order to get reliable reflow, you need to be at or higher than [liquidus + 20�C] for about 5 to 10 seconds, rather than those old "60 seconds above 183�C" guideline. This provides for setting your peak based on the

Russ, Be careful on how you determine your liquidous point. Sure 205-210�C is fine if your paste and the solderability protection on pads and component leads are near eutectic solder and things worked according to plan, but in real life it doesn't

I haven't tried anything like that but had some experience with .8 mm pitch SSOPs. Immersion depth in wave was very critical- had to control Lambda pump speeds within 20 RPM and even then it would change as solder level dropped. Need thieving pads o

Guys I was wondering if anybody has some useful advice with regards to achieving 100% solder penetration on one pin of a through hole device which I believe is attached to a ground plane. All other pins on the through hole device are fine, Just this
