Hi folks! TI told us that we are the only one with the following problem... We discovered a really bad wetting characteristic of some SMD ICs from BurrBrown. At the moment: XTR106 / INA118 / ADS7844. After the reflow process we found out that this pa

SMT-ypw: Does PWB supplier start to implement PWB drying packaging? B3: YES! The fabrication of the PCB involves a series of wet processing that requires counter-measures to remove moisure. While some of the PCB processes also include bake cycles th

HI , A LOT OF SIMILAR ISSUES WERE DISCUSSED LATELY. MOST OF THE TIME THE PROBLEM IS IN THE BOARD FINISH. THE BEST OPTION IS GOLD FINISH(ENIG). MAKE A SAMPLE AND TRY IT WITH BOTH PASTES YOU HAVE. ANOTHER THING I DID BEFORE AND IT HELPED ME PARTIALLY

Hey Daniel, N2 gas provides an inert atmosphere which help to minimise oxidation, generally a concern across the reflow zone. Although N2 provides a more shiny solder joint, it is certainly more of a cosmetic issue and does not certify joint reliabil

I am looking for a semi-manual system that an operator can use on a 2 meter conveyor to assist in part placement onto printed boards. We do some prototype assemblies where we don't get parts tape and reeled. Am looking at something that can pick up a

I agree you are too cold for the profile get it up to 230C and possibly allow it to dwell a little longer in preheat as opposed to pushing up the reflow zone only. Sn90/Pb10 melts at 220C so 2C hotter than your profile so you are reliant on it alloyi

During a service call, We had a FUJI guru tell us that Biral was actually not a great lubricant for LM rails or rust prevention because it thickens and gums up quite quickly, which is true. His recommendation was to use TFL-50 wet lube. We've been u

davef As for the repair : - with hot air blower it is not possible (you can melt, but it will not wet) - with standard iron - no problem to repair (no additional material is needed) isd.jwendell yes, the profile is checked on those places (same si

My guess is that he is talking about the gold plated pads not fully wetting with solder. We have seen this on some of our ENIG boards with the gold still showing at the far corners of the rectangular pads. Not knowing if this is hand soldering or p
