PCB, What is telling you that you have cold solder? You do not give much info. My QA/QC love this term to describe a multiple of issues. They are usally very wrong. If this is a reflow process and it just affects one part? An SSOP is not likley t

HI, I have ran into this a time or two, and what I did before we got the BGA rework station was to run some flux under the component, and since the flux that was in the solder on the other solder joints has at least part of the way burned off in the

A good solder connection with heavy ground plane requires: * Plenty of heat [Is the preheater located too far from the wave? Whenever you look at board temperature, there is a sharp decrease in temperature between the preheater and the wave.] * Conta

I agree with most of the other suggestions here, but 90 C for a topside preheat temp seems low to me. I remember aiming for 98 to 104 C for topside temp just before hitting the solder. Boards that had large ground/power planes or a lot of layers I wo
