QFN PCB Pad no Drain Hole

Electronics Forum | Wed May 22 19:10:47 EDT 2013 | anvil1021

We do a lot of these devices and I guess I am not familiar the term "Dry Solder". The QFN device is not designed to have a drain hole, but needs to have thermal vias to control heat in most cases. We have used every possible gnd pad design and modifi

reflow solder joint shear strength

Electronics Forum | Wed Jul 03 15:40:17 EDT 2013 | davef

Shear tests are [in my opinion] senseless. The shear stress you measure depends more on the shear rate and on the point where the force is applied than on the grain structure. When shearing a component, you not only apply shear stress, but also roll

We do in fact see a reduction in soldering defects, most especially wetting issues for both parts and PWBs, tombstones, billboards, etc... As a CM we see all kinds of customer furnished material, some of it not in the greatest condition. Our best p

How to PROPERLY interpet a supplier's paste profile documentation & specification?

Electronics Forum | Tue Dec 24 09:34:55 EST 2013 | emeto

Hi, it is a not given clear here. I will tell you some basics about the profiling: 1. Profile stages A. Preheat - the board preheats from room temp to 130-150C depending on the paste B. Soak - 150-170(or other range depending on the paste). here th

These papers are a good place to start when learning about profiling: https://www.smtnet.com/library/files/upload/374_RSS_vs_RTS_revised_12-99_(no_pics).doc http://www.ipcoutlook.org/pdf/best_practices_reflow_profiling.pdf If you're having a lot o

LGA Solder Balls

I am having problems with LGA solder balls under the devices. Here are some of the details: 1. There are only 2 affected parts @4 locations. 2. The parts are LTM4616EV#PBF and LTM4608AEV#PBF. 3. We are using a ramp soak spike profile. 0-100secs=r

No such thing as a Compact Reflow Oven?

Quad didn't go out of business because they made stellar machines, but if you are running the same board all day long, you can get it dialed in where it's repeatable and reliable. Spares aren't expensive (at least by comparison)and there are lots of

SMTA David: What Is Measured During a Reflow Profile?

Electronics Forum | Tue Jun 25 12:10:10 EDT 2019 | slthomas

The profile (temperature curve) is absolutely a function of both top and bottom zone settings as well as conveyor speed, blower speed, etc.. Certainly when you perform profiling you have to consider both top and bottom heaters when you make adjust

Hi Tsvetan, Yes, I've heard it's difficult to program but good once it gets going. At the moment, I'm working through the manuals, but can't find a step by step guide, just lots of reference material on how to do things, but not knowing what orde
