we are using alphametals no clean 95sn/5ag CL775 paste. After reflow there are solder balls on the board. mainly are around the cap. We are using a conceptronic concept 60 air. There are 4 zones with 8 chambers. We are not sure what the profile

Hi ! Try fresh DRY solder paste... Keep solder paste in a sealed container until the moment of use. Humidity absorbed by the soldering paste becomes vapor violently at the moment of heating it , expelling the solder in form of balls everywhere.

Get a profiler for your oven. To say "we are not sure" and "we think it might..." shows you are running with a WAG (Wild Ass Guess). Not a good place to be if you intend to produce anything reliable, with quality. Run your profile and verify that yo

The profile that you should be using, hopefully, is detailed in the paste data sheet. Connect your thermocouples to various parts of the board, depending on layout, population etc; and then run some trials observing the profile on your oven monitor/

I've had this problem myself, though in using water soluables. But the process to eliminate it is still the same. There are three possible causes for this to occure. Too much humidity, to much solder, and too much heat. Are you leaving the paste

Your profile must be precise, your stencil aperture sizes and shapes are very important, and the size of the pads on the boards should be very close to what the part manufacturer recommends. We had some trouble with hi-temp paste, and discovered tha

Kester has a special alloy for high temp soldering. Alloy 123. I would think that if you coocked 63/37 to 360c you would have a pot of dross in no time! Doug

Hi, I'm an SMT refugee working in component manufacture - hey, times are hard! I've been asked by a customer to test some of my parts at high temperature on the wave - up to 360 deg Celsius. I've checked my wave and it's only capable of getting up

My company manufactures a board for a heavy duty automotive application. One of the through hole parts on the board dissipates enough heat that it requires high temp solder. Does anyone know of or have experience with a high quality selective solde
