We've had several instances of parts (1206R, SOT-23) popping off of their location during reflow. Parts placement is OK, paste brick is aligned and compact before oven. But we get random parts off their location just lying somewhere else on the boar

Too much Convection Airflow in the Reflow Oven blowing parts around ? Moisture Contaminated Parts out gassing ? Board out gassing? Just some thoughts, DG

please check the following also. in one of the cases we came across the second point was the problem. 1. the parallelisum of the conveyor. 2. the warpage of the board. 3. the stencil.(the differential height in the paste deposition of the two pads

>> try a linear ramp to allow the entire pcb to heat up evenly. What is your conveyor speed?

Just had a similar phenomenon 2 days ago. May relate to your issue --- or not. Like you, I did a once over looking for mechanical obstruction & couldn't find any. Ran a thermal profile on the offending PCB & all checked out. Looked in end of oven

You're correct. It is curious. Possible angles to look at are: 1 WS609 loves moisture in the air. In high humidity shops, this paste hakes-on liquid. If this is the case, you should also see slumping, resulting in fine pitch bridging, and solder

Loctite 3609. Just a small dot under the D-Pak and it works 100%.

We have had two jobs that have the same issues with DPAK's sliding off their pads during reflow. We tried to resolve this by placing epoxy on the side of the component to create a "dam". However this is not repeatable enough to be a quality resolutio

I assume that these parts are falling off during second-side reflow? The easy solution, of course, is to not build high-mass components on first-side reflow. If this isn't practical, however, you can try using epoxy/glue under the component. We'

Hi Sam, I have a feeling that what you're trying to communicate is that your DPAK's are skewing off the pad during reflow. This is caused by a thermal "mismatch" where the solder paste on one side of the DPAK becomes molten before the other, then th
