Slim chance it's the nature of the beast if in original unopened package. If handled by anybody not properly trained they will get bent. Allso make sure your pick and place is seating them into the paste, any lead not contacting the wet paste will be

I'm pretty sure that in the job description of each QA related position it lists "Ensure Process Engineering is always being hassled because you inspect to target and not acceptable."

AIM, Indium , Alpha will be your top 3 choices. I did paste evaluation before with 4 paste manufacturers and Kester was my choice number 4. Profile according to the paste specs and observe results.

Thank you very much for your response.I would like to know in which cases this could be the case. We have a disagreement how to interpret this and I need a 3rd opinion. Thank you very much for your help!

While I wouldn't be happy with this "Hershey's Kiss" appearing solder connection, I'd suck it up and and accept it as acceptable according to IPC-A-610F, Section 5.1

Toluol (toluene). I use it in the solvent cups in my PVA machines to keep the nozzles wetted. We also use it to clean spots where coating is not supposed to be. Techspray 2510-N coating remover pen will also work very well for this.

My first guess at the cause of your components skewing -- Termination pads on the board to not well match the the soldered terminals on the components, causing unbalanced wetting forces on the component terminations while the solder is molten.

Dear davef, but this LED is skip component, that's a blank footprint and one of its pad is badly wetted...this is the reason for my thinking about contamination. Do you mean different solder paste with more aggressive flux?
