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.

Thanks for input, dyoungquist. The condition here is without any flux or paste applied. Solder from component terminal started splashing by itself when put through re-flow.

Hello Henry, I believe some further clarification may be needed for someone to assist. Is the component already soldered prior to reflow? Does the component have paste already applied going through reflow? (or as per my previous question, is it al

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

Base on the top picture condition, seems like the boards condition is a lot with solder splash or solder ball which is per IPC-610 is under reject (under 5.6.2)for class 3 product. While the picture 2 is showing those the solder resist is not melt pr

I am four weeks into my new job, there always seems to be some issues here with PCB every week. Today while I was checking some assemblies with micro-scope, I found a lot of tiny bubbles/blisters on the board. They are just little dots if you look

Do you have access to an x-ray system? If so you can determine if the solder wetting to the lead along it's length meets the criteria set out in IPC-610. Pete B.

Hello there, Most probably, since the solder balls are entrapped, it is a process indicator, but refer to IPC 610-6.5.3.1 on Excess solder / solder balls / splashes - it really depends on what class you are manufacturing, and the minimum electrical c

You looked one page to far in the IPC book! Fillet height of 75% is acceptable for all 3 classes. Per IPC 610 rev. C Section 6 table 6.2. A. Circumferential wetting on Primary side (top)between lead and barrel (not anualar ring) Class 1 Not spe
