If you are satisfied with the apertures, then you need to check placement pressure, plant humidity, and the reflow profile. If the placement pressure is too great, it will separate minute portions of the solder from the pad. When the solder reflo

Antonio, I would need to have more profile information i.e. preheat temp (hold time) as well as soaking zone (time). What is the peak temperature and how long is it held there. Also, one more thing to check, because I have seen it in the past, is

Here is some thing that I wrote a while back on solder beading. First what is a Solder Bead? The term solder bead is used to differentiate it from solder balls. A solder bead is a solder ball but its location is normally constant unlike solder bal

Hi Antonio: You clearly have printed excessive amount of solder paste on the pad. You can reduce the amount of paste by one or two methods: 1. Switchover to 5 mil thick stencils. 2. Change the design of your stencil openings (at the discrete compone

Hi guys, Problem: Mid chip solder balling. Component affected: 0603 caps only Defect is PCB specific (Meaning only one PCB is affected as the aperture is standard for that component). As a containment I'll give a home plate design for the compo

Whatever the cause is, will be fixed by applying less paste. So Homeplate it is.

Hi Shriram, Are you saying that there is a trace running between the pads for this 0603 capacitor? If so, this design may be causing a gasketing issue between the stencil and the PCB. The uneven height prevents the stencil from sitting flat on the PC

Appreciate your suggestion. NSMD pads are used for this design, the anomalies we found are 1. the trace running between pads has a lesser solder mask height compared the other area of the pads. 2. the NSMD pads doesnot have a trench close to pad e
