It's possible that if the nickel on your board was skip plated by your fab that you would get the symptoms that you describe.

Spray fluxing yes but have checked the uniformity by using a fluxometer. Also have put boards through with only flux and preheat. no wave up to see if the carrier is being burnt off. I will look into the skip plating issue. Thanks again

That you can get good solder flow when hand soldering seems to indicate that the temperature of your solder pot is too low. Still, I'm uneasy that you see gold on the pads after passing the board across the solder pot. Gold is so thin with ENIG. So

Are you spray fluxing ? If so, check that you are getting flux onto the whole pcb uniformly.... That BLT flux is a water based material, are you getting rid of all the water in the preheat before you get to the wave ( can you hear any spitting as t

Measured the pot temprature independantly from the software (268C/514F from moving wave). We are using Dross Inhibiter Tin/P Regenerator from BLT. Monthly sample checks are carried out on the solder bath and are all within limits. It will be hard to

Hi folks , Lately we are seeing a lot of rawcards with black spots on the pads - most of them have Au finish(immersion gold) . We did a lot of inspecton after wave solder and found that only (fine pitch) QFP are affected the most. Our inspection /te

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
