A good guideline is keep it similar to your wave solder process, for example 2-3 sec. This assumes you're preheating the assembly. While polyimide boards are fairly robust at some point you will begin to see copper dissolution - the solder side pad

We're not sure that such data is available. What guidelines does your flux supplier provide in soldering with this process?

Some short happens between the balls of CPU socket in my site.we decrease the reflow time from about 90sec to 50 sec and decreased the fail rate of short.but x-ray shows balls from part of the Ball array deformed....we can't further decrease the time

I might suggest that you check with your solder paste manufacturer to see what is recommended for time over reflow. Typically, I think most are between 60 and 90 seconds over 183. Also, consider the rate of cooling. The faster you cool the solder, th

Hi Joris - There is an excellent wave solder guide called "Take No Prisoners" that includes instructions for attacking and eliminating solder balls and preventing their recurrence: 1. Increase Dwell Time Solder balls are normally caused by too much f

Gee Dave That's the first time I've ever seen myself listed for a quote! Brian, what your saying is on the whole right, on the surface of it the mask, as long as it's cured properlay shouldn't make a difference but I have to say that I've found so f

Hi Dave - You are correct that I was not clear in my comments. I assumed Joris had seen the usual solder balls accompanying his blowholes. Nevertheless, Joris, my first two recommendations still stand. Increasing the dwell time of your leads in t

5 Steps to Eliminate Bridges: 1. Establish (wave) Parallelism First and foremost, you must establish board-to-wave parallelism. This is the prerequisite to any wave solder process control. For an understanding of the power of this approach go to ht

Hi Shrek - Not sure why you think adjusting dwell time and preheats is a sales pitch, but I do appreciate your candor. These are proven, widely used techniques for attacking, eliminating and preventing the recurrence of blowholes. Since it is so ea

Get yourself a KIK Oven and Wave Profiler. It will get you in the Ballpark before burning down the joint. Easy to use and talk to your paste supplier. Murray
