| Richard, | You may be encountering solder paste contamination | on the assembly during the printing process. Solder | will reflow on tin/lead plated lands therefore invisible. | If you are washing the assembly prior to inspection | then you are

| We had a similar problem. But whenever the solder came from the screen printer the solder would wet to the gold fingers, with the help of residual flux. But the problem is balls, that I assume are not wetted to the gold fingers but instead are jus

Hi Dave, We suspect that the organic FM causes the non-wetting problem. FTIR analysis confirm that the FM is a flux residue. Dave we only used FTIR to detect organic contaminants, we also used SEM/EDX to determined the elemental composition of the

I don't have a plasma cleaner either. It will help a lot. Actually I don't clean at all. Our wirebond pads are far enough away so the flux residue does not get on the wirebond pads. That's what we think anyway. I am sure we have some degree of c

We have a problem with our Unleaded wave solder machine only randomly soldering some pads. I have looked at the flux level and that appears fine aswell as cheking the preheat and solder height in the bath. The probelm is not exclusive to one perticul
