It is true that the use of saponifiers (and other water soluble additives) will lower the surface tension and aid in under component penetration. It is also true, however, that other specific design features within a batch machine can also aid in un

| While inspecting incoming PCBs we detected around all plated-through-holes (only there and all in the same place) some halfmoonshaped light rings that match obviously only with the pink ring symptom shown in the IPC-A-600 chapter 2.5.2.. That would

snip | John and Dave, | | Again, I don't work with larger chip devices with this issue. The company I now work with developed a strategy, based on considerable research (as others of us did in the past), to do things like placing 0603's on 0402 pad

| | I dug through my big box of office crap and found the disk with my technical papers. I posted the one on process control in the SMTNet library. It covers a lot of ground on what causes defects in the wave (too much or too little of something),
