Hi, I experience some trouble with my solder joint recently. And I'm wondering if someone could help me with this. First I use a thermocouple wich I must tape to the board to profile my temperature. I want to buy the Temprobe from Saunder Tech

Solder balls can be removed with most cleaning systems, batch or inline. Ultrasonic will work but may also cause other problems. A high pressure spray-in-air cleaning system with a chemical additive (for no-clean removal) will work best. If you no

I agree with the others and experienced the problem myself this week. Solderballs at the side of the chips. I looked at the board and found that the chip is pressing the paste away too much. This in combination with our quite big pads(and stencilaper

Lets make it easy on the poor guy, some are correct, check you profile but remember one thing most do not apply, it is important to match the type of paste you are using with the style of oven and configuration. send a direct email and I will give so

Concerning the solder-balls, there are a few causes for this. Try to slow down your solder-speed (P.e 80cm/min). Can you measure temperature after the pre-heat zone? Are there also blow-holes in the joints? Personally I think there is some water in t

We use water soluble solder paste. When it gets a little dried out, can we add something to rejuvenate it? Liquid flux? We do not place components, just print and reflow the solderpaste so solderballs, spattering, and other issues like those are of

We are currently experiencing some MCSB's on 0603 components. I am looking into experimenting with the stencil thickness from 6 mil to 5 mil and also using Radiused inverted homeplate ( 20%60%20)to eliminate or reduced this problem. We are using lea

We are just getting into full production on a handful of lead-free builds. We are finding that the specific lead-free paste we are using is very susceptible to shelf life and dwell time. Much, much more than our experience with leaded. We have had

Have you tried an alternative paste supplier. I have ran quite a few cards now with the homeplate design that I have used for the last few years and we are not experiencing any problems. We experienced MCSB on one product but this card has oblong p

This may be worth checking out are you sure it is flux residue and not undercured plasicizers coming from solder resists due to the higher Lead Free temperatures killing the undercured resist, this causes many no faults found and bridging, solderball
