Mat, Are you sure you should be using SnPb HASL boards if you are doing prep for lead free? If you aren't actually going to comply with RoHS then fire away. Nearly all of our assemblies are now ENIG and as any re-design comes up on a HASL board it is

Hi SMT Engr With a double-header connector do you mean Double Level Right Angled Header Connector. If so there is a big difference in heat sinking capacity between the two rows, as where the pins of the top connector absorbes twice as much heat as t

Can you please decrease the ramp rate of your reflow profile?In my opion,if you heat the pin too fast,the solder will drop for the gravity and the cappilary force can't draw it back.On the row with much heatsink,this issue won't happen,that's the rea

I am interested in RoHS "through-hole soldering": We have a problem with solder wetting and fillet during selective and wave soldering, with a Ni/Au PCBA!! Different fluxes has been tested, but this is really a big issue. Now; there is only a few fl

guys, I am having a problem. During my rework (SRT) process, I am trying to reach a board temp of 150degC b4 the top heater comes down for the actual rework process. Due to which the flux (tacflux 20)is burning off and i am seeing lot of non wetting

Hello, We currently have huge quality issues with our Inertec selective solder machine, the model we have does not pump solder, rather the solder bath is raised to the product. We have continuing issues with bridging and non wetting of joints. We a

Bob, I've heard that many WSM manufacturers are not providing warranties for stainless steel solder pots that are holding SN100 because they are not completely confident that the SN100C alloy is non-destructive to the pot. fct�s own webpage states

What are the Mfg specs for pad layout? I had one that was wrong and we changed the center to center spacing to .032" and the width to .015" wider (.0075" on each side)than the solder terminations and everything was fine. As a general rule I never t

Several suggestions. Your hands may be tied but here goes. 1. Doctor your stencil so that pads are not shared etc and reduce the apertures more that what you would normally. This may stop one pad wetting into another etc. 2. The use of a Pb-free sol
