Dave: Wayne is correct with his analysis of ultrasonic spraying - we also use Sonoteks. However, your post didn't ask for a different system, just a clarification regarding your problem. What type of flux system are you currently using - spray, f

Istvan, The advise from both Roni and Mike sounds right on the money. The problem is most likely that your PCB is not completely dry (the flux has not completely evaporated) in the area where these solder balls occur. You have a number of differen

Check specific gravity: According to a quick web search, the specific gravity should be 0.813 ± 0.003. If you have records of the specific gravity, compare current reading to past readings. Check pressure near stone: if you have records, compare

It sound you have already discovered to root cause, flux entrapment in the via holes. Short of changing the desing, here are sone suggestions. The main thing is you have to dry out the via holes of the wet flux. Some things to try are: slow down t

I would use a foam fluxer since spraying rosin will make the stickiest nastiest mess you can imagine. 18 layer board huh? You will want convection preheat, both top and bottom preheaters, preheat tunnel of at least 4-5', a chip wave, laminar flow w
