Hi fellow professionals, Wondering whether anyone has experience with solder splashing from component terminal. Have identified the source using the component without printing solder paste on PCB. Wondering the root-cause of the solder splashing fr

Could be that your temperature ramp up rate is too fast. This could cause the flux in the solder paste to burn off too rapidly. When that happens, it can expand as it heats up and burns off, causing the solder to get spread out from the pad.

I'm currently working for a OEM that has 700+ stencils in house and we received 30 to 40 stencil a month. We recently switched to a no clean process which is causing the stencil part numbers to disappear from the stencil frames due to the saponifier

I suggest not to. You are also adding the flux of the paste that may cause you trouble in the long run. I suggest setting up a reclaim process with you paste vendor, or someone they reccomend.

Hey, has anybody experienced problems with solder balls falling off BGA's? I have not been able to identify a contaminant nor any physical problems that would cause this. On packages with 'good' adhesion I have not observed any intermetallic form

Hello, We have designed a 160ball bga substrate. Now we want to use the same substrate for the 145ball version of the product. All are the same, the package size, ball pitch, solder ball size only the number of balls will change. We will use a new s

Ray, I don't know for sure what exact data Ceeris used to come up with their figures. Did they account for shipping? Was the rework done by expensive equipment? When I read your thre

We're trying a selective soldering pallet for the first time with mixed reviews. Are solder balls a prevalent problem with this process? Most of them seem to correspond with pallet wall locations....is it too much turbulence from the rotary chip wav

We are using Vicor SMT J-Lead VI Chip which is big component on the bottom side. The manufacturer recommends to have 6 mil stencil but the customer required 10 mil stencil. The PWB has gold contacts on both sides. We noticed some mini solder splashes

Since your problem has been posted quite some time ago I am eager to know, if you have got any clue. One of my customers recently claimed our 313-PBGA causing problems, as one of its balls (randomly) is almost dewetting. So no evidence is found by x-
