Hi all, We are experiencing problems with a 6-way surface mount connector. The part in question is a Harwin part M22-634XX22R. And to a lesser degree the mating part M22-C107133C. The problem is that the joints do not appear wetted at all, the component legs seem to be sitting on top of the solder and the slightest force will cause the connector to fall off. The problem is currently being investigated by our manufacturing department, but I am keen to glean as much info as I can as to the possible cause. As is the first time with have used a surface mount connector, any advice would be most appreciated. Best regards, Mark. Mark Holmes PCB Designer Helvar Merca Ltd.
