Armando, Is the problem in the same spot on the board with every run? If so, there might be something about that particular location that is part of the cause (ie. ground or power plane connection). It sounds like you're seeing blow holes, or insu

Hi Sam, I have a feeling that what you're trying to communicate is that your DPAK's are skewing off the pad during reflow. This is caused by a thermal "mismatch" where the solder paste on one side of the DPAK becomes molten before the other, then th

Hello SMTA. I'm having issues reworking QFNs inside housings with a much higher thermal mass than any typical PCB. We have had demonstrations in-house using BGA rework stations that simply don't get the job done. The problem is threefold: 1) th

1)Though in many cases the difference between SAC305 and SAC405 was small,and not always statistically significant, it was observed that SAC405 generally outperformed SAC305 joints. Under 0°C to 100°C thermal cycling,no statistically significant

Hello Evtimov, sorry...just saw post as I was looking through list...a bit late. I don't know if you ever got your answer. IPC-4552A covers EniG finishes and suggested shelf life. I've referred to these doc's quite a bit. Good spec's ! Yes, I beli

I agree with the two other replies. Left alone, it is a defect. If it's just excess adhesive or coating, you can use IPC-7711/7721 'Rework, Modification and Repair of Electronic Assemblies' for guidance on removing. Section 2.3.1 explains how to te

To answer Gary's question: Gary, you will need a production board, thermal profiler, flux vendors product data sheet on the flux you intend to use, maybe your wave vendor service engineer or wave solder vendor contact (unless you know your wave) and
