We recently had a discussion with customer's QM - he claims that calculations for a proper solder wire diameter and soldering iron tip size (and temperature) have to be performed and documented for all manual (T/H) solderings (based on component size

Intermetallic compounds [IMC]: * Form during the alloying process of some metals. In soldering these are Sn, Ni, Ag, Cu, Au. * Do not accept solder. * Increase in depth in logarithmic proportion to both time and temperature. [So during the solder

I'd start by looking at the available tips from the manufacturer of the iron you are using. They usually have a selection of specialty tips in their catalog either online or in print.

Your customer is correct. You are doing something wrong in your hand soldering process. Solder balls are a process indicator. Areas to assess are: * Moisture content of the bare board * Thickness of the copper plating in the through holes * Temperatu

Check with your soldering iron supplier. We'd expect them to say: * Tip to Ground Resistance:
