Can you send it out for repair. Best Electronics has helped us out in the past. I know they used to advertise here (see Earl?) in the past and can do some pretty cool stuff.

When we rceive a PCB that has supplier damage we charge the PCB supplier for the board and material cost. We will give them the option of repair at their expense if they desire. Russ

In this case we're not the customer of the fabs, OUR customer is. So, our customer provided us with damaged material. However, we can't prove that the damage is the cause of the failure because no one has the expertise to troubleshoot the board adequ

I was wondering if anyone has the last 10 minutes of the Modern Marvels (Engineering Diasers 19) on a file they can send me? It talks and discusses the tin whiskers and problem with using tin.

How big is that download? Mine hangs after about 3 minutes on a T-1 connection.

Go to Slaine's 2nd link, then right click on the PDF icon & do a "save target as". Took about 30 seconds. Didn't work the other way. Cheers Slaine, Rob.

Seems as though the problem is with PCB and not component? "Solder does not wet to pads, wets to component" What is your board finish? Russ

Sorry I misled you. The PCB pads are wetting, but there is no fillet being formed. After reflow, it looks as though no paste was put down on the pads; however the paste print is fine. All other components solder real nice, it's only the Pd-Ag parts t

Had the same problem with a batch of 0603`s nfrom Vishay. They eventually replaced the components after I proved that the problem was with the component.

Print a number of pads of the 0603 on to a ceramic substrate. Then place the 0603 on the paste on the ceramic and refow. If the paste shows no wetting onto the component it will prove that there is a problem with the components solderability.
