Now, I'm not going to talk solder balls, in a traditional sense. I have an image of bilbous, globs of excess solder near the ends of PTH leads. If that's not what you have, ignore the following [and help us understand your situation better] ... Yo

Hello, The first thing that you need to do is to make process mapping about this incident, so you can exactly determine all factors and observable changes happened during 2 weeks of timeline difference. According to my experience, if all equipment

We find keeping the work environment at about 22degC and humidity to about 40-50% is the best way to control the solder balls. Before we took measures we were out of control with solder balls especially in the summer months. We run aqueous solder thr

We used to use Alpha paste. Every summer we had solder ball problems when the humidity rose. Time frame sounds like this is something to check in to.

hi initially, as per PCB design and gerber file of PCB we got 5 mil stencil, during process observed lot of solder balls (70-80%), then we decided to go for 4 mil stencil with c-cut. now the problem is reduced and still solderball exists which is a

Hello everyone, thanks for the feedback. Now I am sure it is too much solder paste. It seems that the pads are a little bit bigger than they should be, so I will probably need an aperture reduction more than 10%.

Currently we are having a lot of solder balls, after a few hours of continous production. This is how we work: load new solder paste at the beginning of the shift, less than 500grms. Then, the operator loads new solder paste periodically, every 3 to
