Maybe ask your customer where they got this idea from? It is possible they may have even got this idea from some white paper or article where they are trying to explain something else and show drawings with no solder between the pad and lead. It may

I'm sorry, Dave - I didn't make myself very clear. Yes, this space (not really a "gap") is filled with solid solder. For instance, if you place a gull-wing component in solder paste, after reflow, there will probably be a thin film of solidied solder

I have received 10 customer returns for a cold solder joint on 1 lead of a 36 pin IC. Everytime it is on the #18 pin. The process is reflow and I can't figure out why the one leg is cold and the other legs look OK.

Hi, Peter, I'm not an authority on surface finish thickness, and it's effect on reflowing, so, I can't advise on that front. If the boards are a week old, and ENIG, I would not suspect surface contamination. It's always a consideration, of course,

I'm with Steve. Check the datasheet, and make sure that the terminations are meant for solder application, and not conductive epoxy. I had that happen a year or so ago with an MLCC. Drove us nuts for two days (not to mention the significant rework

Hello All, We have a problem with dewetting of solder paste. Problem is most visible on the pads without components (see attached pictures) and occurs randomly, 20% of PCB's. Pcb supplier sent us a cross-section of pads with thickness of Cu, Ni and
