I have a problem on fine pitch SMT connector reflow. The board size is 18" x 12" with 8 layers FR4 material and emersion gold finishing. All the other components include 0603 on the board are reflow very well, except 20 mil pitch SMT connectors. The

We are using our selective solder machine to solder a backplane with sixteen (16) 4x48 pin 0.080" connectors. Our first pass yield is about 85% meaning that 85% of the connectors come out with no bridges. Not quite as fine pitch as your connector a

We had a similar issue and it was fixed by trimming the connector so there was barely enough lead protrusion through the board to show a discernible lead. We had to get a special plate and small machine to cut the connectors, but we haven’t had a bri
