What Causes Blow Holes?
What Causes Blow Holes?
What could be causing blow holes on clinched radial lead components? The Assembly Brothers discuss this odd condition.
Program: Board Talk
Toe Fillet Requirements on Gull Wing Components
Toe Fillet Requirements on Gull Wing Components
Is a toe fillet required on gull wing components? We have some gull wing components that have no toe fillet, but all the other requirements for the solder connection are met.

How To Eliminate PCB Bow and Twist
How To Eliminate PCB Bow and Twist
Industry expert Bob Willis uses the NPL Defect Database to explore techniques to reduce the possibility of circuit board bow and twist.
Program: Production Floor
Why is Solder Dross Sticking to Our PCBAs?
Why is Solder Dross Sticking to Our PCBAs?
After wave soldering we are finding solder dross particles sticking to the printed circuit board surface. We cleaned the dross from the solder bath and yet have the same problem. Do we likely have a contamination problem with the solder bath?
Program: Board Talk
Soldering Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor
Soldering Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor
We are conducting rework that includes soldering a wire to one end of a heat sensitive multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC). We need to solder the wire to one end of a ceramic chip cap while the other end is soldered to a PCB land.
