Hi Joris, I've used 10's of Millions of these (and the AVX version - PBRC****) and never found this problem (I also worked for Murata back in the mists of time & never encountered it). Internally the part is thermally symmetrical, so the only thing

You're a piece of work! Why don't you work for any of the major wave companies? So how does slowing the conveyor speed eliminate drying flux? And when you slow it down, what speeds it up to make you say "I lower the wave because I get shorts going

Moon man was guy who contributed often to smtnet. He had a lot of experience behind him. He breathed nitrogen, drank flux with an occasional shot of 111 trichloroethane, and his lunch consisted of dump bucket vision rejects. He was originally crea

Hello Sirs: Recently we are having an issue with environmental stress (high humidity or moisture), so we decide to apply conformal coating on our motherboard to protect via holes. According to IPC-A-610D, spec of thickness for type AR is 0.03~0.13 m

Hi All, Via X-rays, we found solder voids appear on PTH location, especially on Dimm connectors area. We think this should be related to PCB issue as we found solder unable to fill up the PTH hole during bare board testing at wave soldering machi

I think you are close to the problem when you expect the pcb having a problem. When I look at your different pics I saw that your via holes looks like this pcb has a hasl finish... and when i look at Q 14 this picture tells me that the pcb is not an

Hi all, any good recommendation for PbF paste application to reduce voids underneath the QFN thermal pad (stencil thickenss? opening? via hole? reflow profile etc)? We have tried few stencil opening design but no significant improvement as seen. Ther

Hi Paul, My discloser, I sell for an offshore house, this is Crap.... Section 3.4.3 Annular Ring (External) of IPC-6012A, which also calls out Table 3-5, states that "Plated-through holes identified as vias can have up to 90 degrees breakout of t

Paul, I would do two things, eval whole lot for any etching issues as shown above and scrap and two I would have your copper thickness checked, my guess your copper plating will be low. Check plating thickness in Via holes - if less then 8/10th's r

Plugging the holes with temporary solder mask helped some, but once the solder starts to reflow, the fumes from the flux pushed the solder mask out. What I ended up doing in addition to using the temporary solder mask was covering the areas of pcb w
