| WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS REFLOWING BOARDS WITH WHITE TIN PLATING. WE ARE NOT GETTING GOOD WETTING ON THE PADS. | WE HAVE CHECKED THE REFLOW PROFILE AND TRIED DIFFERENT PASTE'S. | WE THINK THERE MAY BE CONTAMINATION OR OXIDATION ON THE PADS.

| | Recently, there has been an upsurge in the Pin Hole/Blow Hole problem in our wave soldering process. We are baking the PCBs for 2 Hrs. at 125 degree C. The Wave Soldering profile seems to be O.K. Still the problem is persistent. Can somebody h

| Does someone has experience with solder stop on components to avoid an Viking effect (no solder on the pad, all solder on the lead)? What kind of solder stop does work well? What is dangerous? What has to be kept in mind when using such components?

I have been developing a BGA Process and are having problems with a 310 IO PBGA reflowing. I am achieving good wetting exept 2 to 5 balls on the outer perimeter I have a good profile my air flow is set per mfg spec, the strange thing is that it does

| Can anyone supply me with info on determining the volume of paste left on a pad once reflowed compared to the intial amount put down? Is there a formula or something? | That information should be contained in the technical data sheets supplied by

What should a good gold joint look like? We've run boards for our customers that look kinda dull but seemed to wet properly and the boards fired up just nicely! Should they look nice and shiny like our HASL boards or is "a shiny joint is a good joint

Currently I am in the buisness of soldering bare die to the top surface of a copper heat sink. Is any one else have some exprience in this process that can help. We heat a copper slug through a contolled atmosphere, place a preform then a bare die.

Hi, We have encountered de-wetting issues with gold plated components( SMT LEDs ). The problem comes and go and we yet to locate the root cause ( process, component or solder paste etc ). The rest of the components on the boards are not having this
