Reflow soldering problems and traces under component

Electronics Forum | Mon Jul 18 12:24:53 EDT 2016 | oleksz

Some people involved in PCB assembly process claim that SMD components reflow soldering problems are often caused by traces running under a component. According to this claim, trace (or any copper) covered by solder mask and placed under SMD componen

Jeremy: Parts assembler make leads of either Alloy 42 (Invar, whatever) or copper. The solderability of these leads are protected with eutectic or non-eutectic tin/lead solder, palladium or some palladium alloy, or gold. Cuppla things to consider:

Wave Solder Balls, VOC-Free Flux, and Glossy Mask

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 03 18:41:16 EDT 2006 | C.K. Flip

With recent implementation of VOC-Free flux in our shop, we've experienced little solder fines/balls on the above combo of VOC-Free, Water Based, and glossy to semi-glossy mask finish on PCB's. The solder balls show up on close conductor spacings, ~

| | Q #1) Is it more reliable to have the mask tent over the vias or risk getting vias half filled with solder? These are vias with an .020" hole and .040" or .050" pad. | | John, | It depends......mainly on the via size. Tenting works on smaller vi
