Quick Question! We have an assembly that we're building for a customer that will have to be soldered via a Lead-Free Wave Solder. We do not currently have a Lead-Free Wave Solder in house. Does anyone know of a company that may be able to provide thi

Confirm the source of the issue. Run a coalescence test on both lots of paste. A simple coalescence test can quickly determine the condition of solder paste after prolonged use. Simply print a small disk [around 4-5mm diameter and 0.2mm thick - a bu

Now that I've seen the pics... Soldering could work just fine. If you are going for large production then you could get copper discs cut and mounted in tape carrier ($$). This would make it very easy for automated equipment to assemble. Mounting a

OK Eric, is difficult answer at distance without examine the PCB..., anyway in my opinion the problem is the PCB quality. There are two possibility : the crack is between solder and nickel or is between nickel and pad copper. In both situation the

I have already told you that is not possible solve this problem by e-mail, without perform a detailed failure analysis. Also I have told you to procede by exclusion. Are you sure, by tests, regarding the PCB quality ? Are you sure regarding the solde

I am having a horrible time with the square radial lead capacitors (thru hole components) and the part coating flowing into the solder joint. These are Class 3 products. When we run them through the wave solder machine, the solder travels up the le

Hi, We had it for a while, but had to take it out and replace it with normal convection. I mean the soldering quality is absolutely amazing, and the joints looked perfect, however it was a horror for tomb-stoning. We tried all types of stencil apert

It is pretty hard to wave solder fine pitch parts bad enought with 0.5mm let alone 0.4mm It can be done but need N2 inert wave soldering & need layout design to accommodate this... Iy it is a QFP need to run part 45 deg into wave and if possible in
