The solder balls you are talking about are caused by too much paste. Reduce the size of the stencil aperatures. Concerning removing the solder balls, the first thing you need to ask yourself is, do I need to remove them. IPC-610, 12.4.10 states, "Ac

IPC-A-610 uses words to the effect that it�s a Class 2 process indicator, if either: * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls that are within 0.13 mm [0.00512 in] of lands or connectors, OR * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls exceed 0.13mm [0.00

Good Morning WS, If you experieced the solder balls after reflow of a bare board through the oven, then the source of the solder is either the oven or the board. I have had boards with untented via's that were HASL'd that had entrapped solder and fl

Hello, The first thing that you need to do is to make process mapping about this incident, so you can exactly determine all factors and observable changes happened during 2 weeks of timeline difference. According to my experience, if all equipment

Thanks Everyone, the information was very useful. We use 7095 as a bible. A-610 6.5.3 doesn't allow for any solder balls not entrapped/attached etc. so we will look again at plugging/tenting both ends of the via. We ran into the problem of the mask

We find no solder balls after washing our boards. It works GREAT!!! ;-) Probably more to the point, look at "Circuits Assembly" 7/01, p 40, "Eliminating Solder Beads In No-Clean PCBs". "Solder mask type & composition are the greatest contributor t

I have no choice, as per customer's request to remove the solder balls. Can i use water to clean away the solder ball since i'm using RMA solder paste not the water soluable paste.

I've recently read a posting here which said that the person was trying to reduce solder balls. One of the things the person had done was to adjust the reflow profile so as to be hotter and longer in the reflow state. Am I wrong here? I thought th
