Wave Soldering Defects- Lifted Pads On PCB

Jul 06, 2020

Lifted Pads on a Printed Circuit Board-WAVE SOLDERING DEFECTS

Lifted pads are rarely seen on plated through hole boards but can occur on single-sided boards during assembly. The example in Figure 1 occurred directly after wave soldering when the assembly was being handled. The adhesion of the copper foil decreases as the surface heats up so directly after soldering the copper adhesion can be low. Any handling or force applied to the components can cause lifting of the pads. Care needs to be taken when lifting boards from the conveyor or out of pallets as often large components are often used by operators as handles.

How to Repair Damaged Printed Circuit Board Pads

  1. Step 1: Tidy Up the Damaged Track 1

  2. Step 2: Tidy Up the Damaged Track 2

  3. Step 3: Exposing the Track

  4. Step 4: Sticking Copper Tape Over the Exposed Track

  5. Step 5: Soldering the Copper Tape Joints

  6. Step 6: Pierce to Make the Hole

  7. Step 7: Solder in Your Component

  8. Step 8: Carefully Trim the Repair
