Dear sir, I think so with every idea , everyone is correct , paste , pattern of pad design ,profiling or solder mask on PCB ,and one of the cause of tombstone that I found is alignment of machine placing and solder printing , from my experience many

Looks like poor wetting/solderability to me. I don’t see heel fillets on the leads where the solder balls up. The solder has to go somewhere. It won’t flow where it won’t wet. Try printing a bare board and run through reflow. If the solder balls up o

If the only difference between the two products is the board supplier I believe thats where I would start, we had a similar problem like this two months ago and it turned out to be a faulty (thin) HASL layer which did not meet our print tolerance. T

You need to take it a few steps farther. The main reason you would want to reject a certain % off print is because it made defects. So you need to see how far you can go without creating a defect and then establish that as your cut off and the need

We agree with your statements. 1. Having manually printed board will compromise your print and you don't know how much paste you have on each pad. 2. LEDs falling off that easily might be related to contamination, considering that your profile is not

If you swear in having consistent print, I bet you it is the part. Some of these BGAs probably have missing or inconsistent balls.

This is what I might do, I would purchase either a solder volume (preferred) or at the least a paste height measurement piece of equipmment, The most important parameters with pronting are volume and registration. You need one of these inspection

I've never seen a good article with a definitive explanation - just speculation that the increased wetting forces due to nitrogen result in increased tombstones. My own experience is that nitrogen is a very minor contributor to tombstones and can pr
