Waarom viel het SMT-pad er gemakkelijk af tijdens het solderen van de printplaten??

I am a buyer in a telecom company. Kort geleden, an important order of SMT PCBA is delayed due to insophiscated production of a supplier. I am thinking about replace it and just very puzzled about how did their SMT pad fall off easily when soldering the PCB boards. That slows down the whole process.

Ik vermoed dat dit een handmatige soldeeroperatie was. Hoogstwaarschijnlijk, het strijkijzer was te heet, of het werd te lang op de pad gehouden, of allebei. Als dit laatste, there may have been insufficient flux to enable good heat conduction into the joint, so the operator was forced to keep the iron in place longer than should have been necessary.

The epoxy in the PCB gets distinctly soft above the glass transition temperature(Tg). Guess what? All normal soldering operations happen above the glass transition temperature!

Item Temp.
Traditional FR4 boards Tg: 135C
modern boards for lead-free soldering processes Tg: 170C
Solder melting temperatures for eutectic Tin-Lead (Sn63) 183C
melting temperatures lead-free solders (SAC305) 217C
oldering iron temperature above the liquidus 130C

Facing this problem in soldering operation, all we need to do is making it so fast that there isn’t time for the epoxy to go soft, and that there is no time for the copper pad to lose all adhesion.

En, greater soldering technique should allow the flux to do the work of heat conduction. The soldering iron tip even does not, in feite, touch either component or PCB.

 

In real life, we almost all do allow such contact, but we take care not to exert pressure while doing so. Because undue pressure is what causes pads to fall off if the temperature has gotten too high!

 

Daarnaast, tip condition may be the second factors. Tips, which are badly tinned, stop the heat transfer to the joint. Hierop volgend, many operators have to increase the iron temperature and press the iron into the board hard enough to do push-ups, causing SMT pad falling with ease.

Wat anderen vragen

Does each process have its own PCB or there is just one?

To my understanding, each process in the operating system contains its own separate Process Control Block. Can someone explain this to me. Does each process have its own PCB or is there just one PCB that contains all the information for all the processes?

How do components not get knocked off or fall off during reflow?

Last week we visited a PCBA factory. We were looking at reflow ovens. A lot of them have a metal conveyor belt the boards sit on. On a double sided board, when you put the board on the metal belt, won’t the metal belt knock components off as they are only held on by paste?
