Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I got pulled off onto other projects and was not able to work on the solution to the problen until recently. The solution we have come up with is to change from no-clean flux based solder paste to water sol

The problem that I see is the pads not soldered and I can see on the X-Ray the solder on the pad after reflow, and yes the solder has melted in a uniform fashion, I have not measured the diference of temperatures in each pad of the PCB, the size is a

Here is a post of the current profile. I have contacted our solder paste provider. They give a general lead free reflow profile guide. All that shows is genreral recomendations for temperature ranges and time ranges in each section of a typical

Have you tried to run the same process but with diffrent solder paste manufacturer.? This give you information whether paste is ok. Try also print paste on the bare board and run through reflow oven. Check 2-3 boards. Is it the same places where i

I assume you mean soldered and not welded. If the one pad that is having problems has a via hole next to it, it probably has more copper around it. Try running a hotter profile.

Nope. I'd be happy to do the analysis for free just to prove the point. Regards, Vlad

Could be not enough peak temp. Do you have a profiler? I'd measure at the BGA joints- drill under board to get access to BGA solder joints and embed a couple of thermocouples with hi-temp solder, then run your profile to see max. temps. and that prof

I am seeing poor quality solder joints, mostly on 0402 components. The problem is that while the pad on the pcb is getting fully wetted, the solder is not flowing up the sides of the 0402 component, i.e. the 0402 lead is somewhat de-wetting. The re

Very interesting problem because it shows how systemic this kind of problem can be. So many variables, right? Firstly, discussions here are similar to everyone's postings, but there are some different observations. The manufacturer��s profile, we t
