I have been getting non wets on fine pitch QFP packages on random leads during reflow process. I noticed that every time there is some flux residue left between the non-wet lead and the solder pad. No residue was not observed on the rest of the good

Did check the coplanarity of the failed lead and found it to be as good as the wetting leads.

Yes the part is reworked. It solders when it's reworked.

Can u elaborate on the bad plating? Have u had any experience on this before? The component has 90/10 Tin lead plating

Questions are: * So after you spot one of these leads sitting on a nice pillow of solder, what happens? * Do you rework the part? * Does it take solder? * What do you do to make it take solder, if it does take solder?

OK, part touching paste before reflow? Check part. Maybe bad plating. Check reflow profile by slowing conveyor.

That's your clue. Your reflow is running ~240*C and your soldering iron is running ~370*C. Dial-up the heat.

Is the solder reflowing on the pad but not wicking up the lead, or does there appear to be insufficient solder to wet both, or is it not reflowing at all, or.....? Have you verified your profile? What is the condition of your paste (expiration date,

Check for coplaner leads if this just exists at reflow process, i.e. look at part before oven, turn on 3D at placement machine. If you see after wave solder, the wave could cause coplanarity issues on top as well if you are going slow enough to refl

By profile (profile has not been changed) are you referring to the oven zone settings or the actual charted profile of a trip through the oven as recorded by a thermal profiler? Some ovens will continue to function without warning as long as temps
