Hi, I have MV-7xi from Mirtec. Mine is equipped with the best camera they have as well as telecentric lens which give you very good resolution and view. Machine handles very good most of the defects in SMT. However, when we go to the solder joints i

If you are in standard specs, don't even mention it. THe RoHS thing in electronics becomes more and more annoying. I haven;t seen people taking out PCBs from their electronic devices and start to chew them. So it was ok to use gas with Lead for deca

I'm new in this industry and need a little direction. I have a wide verity of SM parts on a board, top and bottom. The larger components have a very nice reflow, good shine. The 0402/0201's has a dull almost cold solder look. The boards function and

If you want a step by step guide on BGA look at my NPL/IPC "Defect of the Month" video clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC4K0eSXH18 For other process issues there are also videos which may assist on other process issues like voids, solder ball

So far we have tried diferent date codes, solder pastes and PCBA models (same component used in different projects). We have also sent some components for plating analysis and we are waiting the LAB feedback. Additionally, we have tried components wi

Yes generally speaking yes if there is not contamination on the board from PCB manufacture. for dendrite formation you also need moisture and voltage during operation of the product. You can see many of my IPC Defect of the Month videos at showing yo

Dendrite growth is not typically associated with a flux reation but rather is a result of mechanical stress. The stress can be from any source including stress induced by other components, environment, plating or even bimetallics. Dendrites are most

You should be fine! best practice for a situation like this would be to run a solder sample, either flux it and run through wave, or screen print, don't place parts and run through reflow. look for proper wetting characteristics if you see de-wetting

That's my main concern, the patchy/splotchy appearance doesn't look as pretty, especially under a microscope. When it was mentioned that my oven may be too hot in the ramp-to-faux-soak it was the first thing I tried adjusting. As far as our blade pre
