I agree. Poor soldering technique is the most straightward way of creating solder balls during hand soldering operations.

We have come across this where the operator was using thin gauge solder wire (more suited to fine pitch SMT soldering) to form large solder fillets (power connections or sheild cans). We found that the operator was feeding large amounts of solder wir

We find no solder balls after washing our boards. It works GREAT!!! ;-) Probably more to the point, look at "Circuits Assembly" 7/01, p 40, "Eliminating Solder Beads In No-Clean PCBs". "Solder mask type & composition are the greatest contributor t

We've never used the 99*C lead-free solder you mention. We have used a leaded solder that can form a 93*C eutectic solder. So, we had to be sure the service temperature [of the solder connections] as below 80*C.

Solder ball attached on solder joint without violation minimum electrical clearance is acceptable. If your process parameter including stencil not changed, suggest you check if solder pasted being pushed out after IC placement, also check if solder j

From the picture, I cannot see clearly solder ball violate electrical clearance or cause a short, maybe it is. What I can see is the solder paste has some misalignment although it doesn't printed in solder mask area, but actual position will reduce

I have no choice, as per customer's request to remove the solder balls. Can i use water to clean away the solder ball since i'm using RMA solder paste not the water soluable paste.

I hv no choice as per customer's request to remove the solder balls. Can i just use water to clean away the solder balls since i'm using RMA solder paste and not the water soluable paste?

Reflow? or Wave solder? or selective wave solder? For what I understand you problems is with the preheaters you have a high temp that dries up the flux, and when hits the wave is doing that, do you have a thermal profiler? what's the temp just befor

Yes, from the picture, it seems the gap between solder pad is very small, easy to have solder ball/solder bridge.
