Morning Technetters,
I thought I would try to get this in before the Friday Follies (NTC)
begins.
I have a board that we have wave soldered and I have a number of joints
where the solder reaches the top side pad then stops as if though there
was a barrier. Upon closer examination, I noticed that there is something
not quite right near the edge of the hole on the top side. I remember
reading about "Knee" problems on PTH's on this forum and searched the IPC
archives for more information. I couldn't find anything.
So I'm asking the community at large to comment about this condition at
the "knee" and the causes for it. We are certainly able to do touch up on
these joints but I'd like to try and see this before we process the board.
There are a couple of pictures that Steve G has graciously placed on his
"Picturepallooza" site.
Go to: http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com
The picture names are, "Topside Fillet and Topside Fillet 2".
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
