2. PCBA general appearance inspection specification
1. Solder joint: The wetting angle between the fillet weld with poor contact angle and the end joint of the land pattern is greater than 90°.
2. Upright: One end of the component leaves the pad and rises diagonally or upright.
3. Short circuit: the solder between two or more solder joints that should not be connected is connected, or the solder of the solder joint is connected with an adjacent wire.
4. Empty soldering: that is, the component leads and the PCB solder joints are not connected by soldering.
5. Fake soldering: The component leads and the PCB solder joints seem to be connected, but they are not actually connected.
6. Cold soldering: The solder paste at the solder joints is not completely melted or metal alloys are not formed.
7. Less tin (not enough tin): The area or height of the component end and the PAD does not meet the requirements.
