What stencil reduction are you using so the resistors dont bridge??

That's pretty much what I figured - just wanted some external verification if possible. And don't so much as BREATHE that around here. I'm just waiting for engineering's *next* bright idea. ;)

On chips, none - 1:1. Those are 1206 chips, either .010 or .015" between them. I've never seen one bridge. Some *rare* billboarding. That's it. *shrug* These QFNs, tho....

If no-clean...then this seems "relatively" normal. You could try and extend your peak and duration, however, manufacturers are adjusting their chemistry to survive these normal temperatures (up to 260C and 30 seconds within 5C of peak). You will h

This may be completely normal, but I'm not used to seeing this with our old SnPb. I'm setting up reflow profiles for a SAC305 alloy, and it seems that on some of our larger pads, the flux seems to pool in the center. Is this perhaps a sign that I'm

Yer not making this easy. What kind of flux? If no-clean flux, what controls are you using to assure you are: * Applying the correct amount of flux? * Properly activating the flux? If water washable flux, talk to us about your cleaning methods and

Your research is on track. NC flux needs to reach activation temperature. Also, do not depend on the corrosion characteristics associated with the flux classification (ie, L1, L0, M1, M0, etc.), until the flux is activated by exposure to soldering

Hello Armando, this is what I found into the handbook "Failure Analysis of Electronic processes" : "...Flux residues with water-soluble flux activators that are conductive and corrosive if left on in large enough quantities are detrimental. If you

If the hand soldering is done right and you use little to no extra flux (other than whats in the solder wire) you should be ok. You should still verify with some testing however... You need to make sure any flux used is activated, thus rendered benig

I should have mentioned... the only flux we use for the hand soldering is wire-core, no bottle flux. I think it should be a non-issue to leave the activated wire core flux residue. I'm just looking for some way to prove it to the designer.
