Are you talking about small 'volcanos' that burst through PTH solder connections? If so, you have moisture outgassing through the PTH barrels: * Plating on the hole of your bare board is too thin. It should be greater than 1 thou [25um]. * Your bak

On the non-wetted holes put a solder iron to them and see if they "bubble" if so, you have some outgassing in your PCB and they will need to be baked prior to assembly. If this is okay I would investigate the grnd layer that was mentioned. What is

Ken ... I resized your picture so that it fits on the page better. Continuing with your outgassing through the solder pads theory, how thick is the copper on the pads? I don't expect to see outgassing through pad that are a thou or more in thickness

I agree with SOB. First, someone is thinking too much and has too much idle time. And second, controlling volatiles from routine fluxing should be much more concerning than volatiles from out-gassing from delamination. In most plants, delamination is

Normally some random components of size 0604 or below and may be due to a thermal mass being close like a transformer or AC electrolytic caps. We tried changing fan speed, but this will change the thermal profile and avoid the thermal mass from bein

Why not do the other side first. And paste the pins from the connector side? Or maybe using solder preforms on the leads might work if you are afraid of the connector squishing the paste. I'm guessing the headers are raising because of the outgassing

The sulphur outgassing from these rubber bands was >enough to contaminate every board... Well, if every rubber band is a threat then sulphur contamination must be a common problem. Are sulphur test kits available?

solder, but flux -> adhesive. Hmmmmm.... Are the chemists working hard to reduce the consequences of these possibilities? And as to Dave's comment about long term reliability issues due to outgassing from the adhesive, double-hmmmmmmm....... Ther

Dream, Sound's to me like your PCB supplier has process problems, probably outgassing or such from trapped moisture / contaminant's. I thoink it's time you called in your vendor for a chat. JohnW

Check the tant cap for outgassing, tant caps are notorious for breaking wind and moving parts. Try baking the caps.
