It would be uncontrolled reflow process. Solder paste smeared, outdate solder paste, contamination, and many else could lead to this issue. A longer time reflow window would help elimating it (make it max. of 60 seconds liquid time).

Thanks Dave, That answers my question. I didn't think either that the qty of gold in platings would be enough to contaminate the solder pot. I wanted to make sure that leach test is a valid test for gold finishes. Gopinath@mcl.com

Depends on a lot of things as suggested above but we solder land to land spacings of .02" (.5mm) with no shorting. Russ

Hi. I'm new in bussines. I have a DEK screen printer and I have to choise solder paste and flux. It has to be lead-free. What do you recomand? Of course it has to be cheap and good. :)

Your best bet would be to browse through you current solder suppliers catalog and pick your alloy. Most of them have a list of alloys and their melting points as well as what form they can be supplied in.

mid chip solder balls we had that trouble for awhile we went from a 8 mil thick stencil to 6 mil stencil and did some home plate style of cut outs in the stencil for the 1206 caps and resistors it seemed to fix our mid chip solder balls

We use to use a malcom mixer but found it caused problems of solder/flux separation. This may be causing you problems. Earl Jr

Is just me, or too many "soldering issues" have been observed lately? on this forum... could be a ~90% components "backwards/compatible" in both leaded/lead free process?
