Use the appropriate heat for that part. You can then use techspray flux remover with a brush. Spray the brush, and not the board, to reduce spreading the flux. Acetone or alcohol are less expensive and may work as well.

Without further information my first guess would be lack of flux to "cut through" the ENTEK layer. Question: In X-ray is the suspect ball of equal diameter when compared to adjacent balls? If no then the volume of solder is different which would po

| IS IT BETTER FOR SOLDER PASTE TO SPREAD OUT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE ON BARE COPPER, OR FOR IT TO KEEP THE SHAPE OF THE PRINT? I'VE BEEN DOING SOME SOLDER PASTE EVALUATIONS, AND I'M TRYING TO EVALUATE THE RESULTS. I'M NOT SURE THAT BECAUSE A PASTE MAY

i have tried to design the stencil as attached, but the void is more than 35%. do you have any idea what is the ideal diameter for the stencil aperture for the solder to spread and the flux to be released out of the component simultaneously. thanks a

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.

Oh silver and its...improved solderability over tin / copper. BS if you ask me. Look to your flux and thermal profile for wetting spread. Ask yourself just how much "wetting spread" do you need to fill a barrel? I have the same 100% barrel fill

The surface tension of solder you mentioned should be referred to as interfacial tension between solder and flux. According to Antonow�s rule, the interfacial tension is the difference in surface tension of molten solder and liquid flux. Since flux a

You are mixing long exposed paste back into fresh? How long has your fresh jar been open to the air? You are probably doing yourself a disservice by scavenging the paste (it could have moisture entrapped). Your visocity has definitely changed. You a

I some something like this. My package was not flat the belly of the body rested on the PCB. We found that every 4-5 part would wander to the side. What was puzzling is that the blowers would have blown it the opposite side. ultumately we proved

Kim: We understand what you're saying. For us, fluxing the BGA and activating the flux are the issues. * If you're squirting liquid flux under the BGA with a plastic bottle with a needle tip on it and then reflowing less than the whole board with a
