Here's a paper that may help http://www.ipcoutlook.org/pdf/assembly_challenges_bottom_terminated_ipc.pdf Temperature Impact * Profile didn’t have a significant impact on voiding. * Voids slightly increased with higher temperature. Reflow Atmosp

Wave solder flow over back plate

Electronics Forum | Thu Feb 21 10:11:36 EST 2013 | patrickbruneel

The backflow in the wave started to become very important with the development of no-clean/no residue fluxes. These fluxes don’t have (or at least shouldn’t have) rosin, resin or other vehicles in the formulation which encapsulate surface oxides from
