Do you refer to the highlight in the picture as a solderball? Looks more like copper to me.

We are launching a new product and are fairly new to reflow soldering. A concern that has arisen is a fairly consistent solder ball that forms at an electrolytic capacitor. We changed to a homebase aperture design on our passives to eliminate mid-c

Besides the processing tests (different print speeds, print delay times, etc.) one test we've had to use is humidity exposure. Solderballing due to high outside humidity is a problem in our plant. So we expose paste to 85% humidity for various time

The Solderballs are on the botton side of the board.The solderballs are concentrated around through hole edge connectors, which have a Tin/lead finish and have lead pitch of 2.5mm, on top of this, random solderballs are occuring around test points. T

| We are in the process of getting into no-clean paste and fluxes. One important issue in this is sodler balling. I have heard some people say that having a matte finish would help in having lesser solder balls and that the solder balls would not b

Jason, Excessive thermal ramp rates, misprints, improper pad design, paste type, placement pressure, all can cause solderballs. Do the pads on this board meet IPC 782 criterias? I have found that too much pad underneath component can cause this. A

Q1. What are you guys doing for filled/tented/plugged vias on the BGA site? A2. 2221A, 4.5.1 tells you the vias have to be tented on both sides. Q2. What type of issues can this cause if using no filled/tented/plugged vias on the BGA site? A2. BGA

I found solderballs are around chip components (on one side of middle area), I checked gerber data, solder paste of aperture on the stencil for these chip components have 5% reduction to solder land on PCB, shape of solder land are square, not home p

In real terms the temperature compatibility is the real issue. Yes a component can and in most case will cover the paste. The component standoffs must prevent the body contacting the paste to prevent solderballing. Bob Just back from dinner, my mum
