What Causes Solder Fillet Peaks
We are soldering a screw with a single point solder robot that leaves a peak in the solder joint. What is causing this defect?
Program: Ask the Experts
Soldering to Thin Flexible Circuits
What is the best way to solder fine pitch surface mount connectors to thin flexible circuits?
Program: Ask the Experts
Solderability Problems at Low Humidity
Can very low humidity effect solderability of PCB assemblies. Are there other concerns when working in very low humidity?
Program: Board Talk
Solder Deposits During Wave Soldering
During wave soldering, is there a possibility for solder to deposit on SMT components or cause a solder bridge between component pins?
Program: Ask the Experts
Design of New Solder Attach Technologies
Paper outlines a new technology with a focus on design and research involved in the development of a new solder attach technology.
Program: Materials Tech
Problems Hand Soldering 24 Layer Board
We are assembling a back plane board with 24 layers. We are finding that the solder does not flow through to the other side of the board.
Program: Ask the Experts
Nitrogen Inerting For Lead-Free Wave Soldering
This paper presents a new generation N2 inerting system for wave soldering to make the technology more cost effective and user friendly.
Program: Production Floor
Problems With Wave Solder Lead Bridging
We are wave soldering very close pitch through-hole components and see bridging. Is there anything you can recommend so we can reduce bridging on this component?
Program: Board Talk
Wave Soldering Problems
We are seeing many process defects that occur after wave soldering operations. Can you provide suggestions?
Program: Ask the Experts
Hand Soldering vs. Selective Wave
Do you recommend a selective wave soldering process for an LCD glass display? Would the high heat cause thermal damage to the LCD?
