Jeremy: Parts assembler make leads of either Alloy 42 (Invar, whatever) or copper. The solderability of these leads are protected with eutectic or non-eutectic tin/lead solder, palladium or some palladium alloy, or gold. Cuppla things to consider:

I�m thinking �Poor intermatallic� It could be a few things. Lets start at the beginning. -Is your paste a 63/37 mixture? -Have you monitored you screen printing, Verify Solder deposition, Are you getting enough paste? -You say the solder looks like i

Jeremy - What's the process flow on these modules? Are they wave soldered? What is the board finish (ENG, HASL, etc.)? Glenn Robertson

All of the above is good stuff. To add, I have seen this several times if the assembly is wavesoldered. Heat from the wave can partially reflow the top side SM solder joints and weaken them. To test, check joint strength before wave and then after

BTW, The surrounded QFN fine pitch terminals should have the normal aperture reduction of 7 % in case of RoHS Senju solder paste. This works for our Telecom customer. The vias in the ground pad will be somewhat filled with solder and makes it diffi

I may have a similar problem at the moment with a QFP-68. Do the unsoldered leads leave a perfectly formed footprint in the reflowed solder? Do you usually find this issue occurring towards the corners of the QFP rather than in the middle of a row?

Are your qfp's being stored properly. I have seen this in the past and it turned out to be a moisture issue. We saw most of the problems on the corners. The component would swell during the reflow process thus lifting the corners. After baking the re

Questions are: * Do not judge the quality of a solder connection by the shineyness or color of the solder connection. Do you have smooth and unform flow, no pitting, and good wetting to the lead and the pad? * What is the temperature of the leads of

Hi, I attach the termocouples with high temperature solder wire, at the QFP pins.Other thermocople I attach at package with high temperature tape.
