It is likely that the pads that will not solder have been contaminated. There is something on the surface that is preventing the solder from flowing.

Mr.Dave.F has given an exhaustive answer. I just want to mention that some attention could be paid to the plating & contaminants on the PCB. We have experienced longer soldering time due to the presence of contaminants on the plated surface.

Thank you Russ for your comment. This failure cause should have been confirmed as contaminated plating surface causing poor solderability and conductivity, according to all the testing and observations. The only question remaining to me is that why

I can't figure out why everyone is plating everything with gold. According to the J Standard, gold plating should be removed before soldering to the surface. The gold, when left on the surface to be soldered will contaminate the solder joint and ca

Approach To Contamination Testing Of PCBs

Electronics Forum | Thu May 14 14:48:45 EDT 1998 | Dave F

We understand that testing for ionic contamination and surface insulation resistance measure different properties. We assemble printed circuit boards for other companies. We will not get combs on 90% of the boards that we assemble. We have no custo

Hi all experts, I have no background about PCB or SMT process. I am now encountering some issues after SMT - Unstable stitch bonding condition. I am now suspecting some contaminants remain on lead after cleaning. Therefore, how can I check th
