I have heard of people using a round pad or Home plate design to decrease the incidence of tombstoning on 0402's Anyone have any practical experience on this or is everyone just using the IPC 782 recommended land pattern (28mil x 33mil rectangle pad

Hello to all. for certain time, we have been struggling with some issues on a PCB where have tombstoning on 0402 components (due to pad design) and dewetting in qfp256 0.5 mil pitch (discussed on another threads on this forum) component, we have pro

Have you tried higher peaktemp? I saw the QFP is sn90pb10, This has a liquidus of 268 - 302 C. A good paste should be able to handle 230C (or more), of course you would need to check your other components peak temp.

I have attached a pdf version of an article that explains the basics of a nitrogen atmosphere when soldering. It gives some basic guidlines as to when one may want to use nitrogen and what it can and can not accomplish. FYI- I did not write that ar

I agree you are too cold for the profile get it up to 230C and possibly allow it to dwell a little longer in preheat as opposed to pushing up the reflow zone only. Sn90/Pb10 melts at 220C so 2C hotter than your profile so you are reliant on it alloyi

You're correct. This design will have a record amount of 0402 rework for tombstoning and misalignments. Suggest that the pads on each end of all components be the same size in order to balance wetting forces during reflow.

Everybody aware of the tomb-stone problem on 0402 package. I've done everything I could i.e. Profile, placement, 10 Deg placement, stencil design, but still this culprit exist. One things for sure is taht I have a very bad pad size for 0402 ( 25 mil

Hello Danial, Leave it up to most to blame the relow oven for their tombstoning problems when in fact it is usually the last to cause it. The biggest culprit of tombstoning is the pad design followed by the print quality. Usually, we find that the p

Just my opinion but it look's like your doing a great job. i would try another paste. I'm somewhat lucky that we get to use OA's. If your stuck using the no-cleans they are so tempermental. (The nitrogen is making up for the poor paste) Your de-wetti
