TI found an improvement in solderability on their Ni/Pd lead-finishes by using inert (nitrogen) reflow, but this is an expensive operation for just one part.

You're correct that the Ni/Pd termination seems to have something to do with you solder balling. It could be related to the interaction between your paste and the Pd. I assume these are really 'fines' rather than 'balls'. Things that come to mind a

Standard for appearance: J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610 committees eliminated the requirement that solder connections be "bright and shiny". Certain solderability protections; such as Au, NiPd, NiPdAu; can affect the surface texture of a solder connection,

Ron, I'll bet you have the Ni/Pd finsh on these components! We have had the same problem in our shop. Not knowing the Kester spec. we had to raise the max temp to 220 Deg. C and increase the time above liquidous to 60 seconds or greater. It seem

I agree with Ken!! Amen to that, brother! At my company here in Rihad, our design guys are in a tizzy about lead free components and tin whiskers, and with every questionable through-hole solder joint, or when our purchasing department gets "notif
