It's easy to reject everything is it? IPC offers excellent training courses for inspectors in interpreting A-610.

Yes we are using "silicones", but to find this contaminant we were looking for "silicon" the element by SEM/EDS. We use Dow materials and my contact there is checking to see if they have any info.

Paul, do you have any kind of false failure data for the application you struggled with? Also what amount of manpower did you use to operate the system(s).

Hello Dave, Mechanically the conection between the component pad and PCB pad is good (the solder joint is very strong). The problem is associated with poor contact after the use by the customer (vibration, temperature, etc). You can see the pictures

Over-time lead separates from the tin in solder by force of nature [diffusion], but I assume that is not what you are talking about. Please help us understand your question better. Are you saying that the solder does not attach properly to the comp

Oooo, pix, coo!!! Yes, that solder connection has been beat-up. It is very �old�. So, your customer is seeing failures, correct? I can believe it. I want to say the solder in your connections doesn�t stand a chance, but lack experience in this a

Wow, you're very correct. I guess we use silicone to calibrate our machine, as follows: XPS spectral measurements of dimethyl silicone should include O(2s) at 25 eV, Si(2p) at 102 eV, Si(2s) at 153 eV, C(1s) at 285 eV, and O(1s) at 533 eV. The C(1s

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

I haven't experienced this problem, exactly, but I have had issues with noise in digital circuits that appear to have gone away with touch up. The problem was that the customer blamed the noise issue on the solder quality, and he pointed to the fact

Hi Bill You said, "silicon". We assume by your discussion that you ment to say, "silicone". For background on silicone and soldering, check with Dow Corning [517-496-6000]. They make a OS2 [VOC-free] silicone stripper and should be able to give y
