Check flux penetration and type of flux. How much is solid contents. The solder filling is better under Nitrogen. Check the time (speed) of the nozzle whether is correct. Usually For SAC305 the temperature of bath is 320C/degrees, but only for sel

Many times we manually add flux from the top side for good fill.

What is your solder pot temperature? We found that on a 0.093" multilayer board increasing the temp of the lead free solder from 300C to 315C helped with the barrel fill.

You're thinking correctly in trying to improve your process. Can you change to a more active flux? Look at the copper that connects to the center pin. You may need to relay-out the board to add a wagon wheel style thermal relief in that area.

What are the continuing costs on the N2 generator? Is there replaceable media that needs to be monitored/replaced at regular intervals to maintain N2 generation? We're currently using tank-supplied N2, but are just getting ready to fire up our sele

In those cases where we have a 3.2mm thick, 16-layer board with several GND layers, do we still need ground connection to each and every layer (with thermal relief) or, skip part of the ground patterns? Will it help soldeing rising. I can't reach mor

have you considered intrusive reflow? I ran a product similar to what you are describing and the only way we could get sufficient holefill consistently was by this process.... there may be obvious reasons why you cant but worth a shot if you can- it

I am a user of an Ersa Versaflow 3/45. I was wondering if anyone could share some process pointers. I have a 0.125" multilayer PCB that I am having problems consistently achieving 75 percent hole fill on a mini-coax connector. The coax connector ha

If it was ROHS, I would say that the pads are definitely dissolved away. And it sounds like that is the case here. Your best bet is if it is class 2 and the barrels are at least 50% then push for them to be accepted. If you are trying for more barr

As far as hole fill, as was stated above, class 2 only requires 50% up-fill. In order to get better up-fill on the initial pass, you may need to consider more pre-heat. Also, better application of flux. Are you using a drop jet, or a spray? You
