Hi Indhu, It could be multiple reasons but probably one root cause. metal nut might require reflow profile change- you need to check it with SMT reflow profiler. the part might be oxidized - you can check solderability or try to solder part using a

There are some good suggestions here...reflow pallets, and copper balancing. We would also suggest verifying that your problem is not caused by moisture. How much time passed between first side and second side reflow, and how humid is the environme

Milroy, Another thing to look at is your wave profile. Check speed and pre-heat, if flux gets burned off before reaching the wave then bridging is expected, a common way to check for speed is to time the point of first contact through the sub-merge

Dear JSK, It sounds like the root causes of your problem are two fold. First, excessive heat will polymerize the abietic acid found in rosin forming neo-abietic diamers and polymers which are much less soluble than the parent monomer. There are

Hello guys ! I have a problem, I am finding some blow holes in the solder join in a resistors pad, can this be because of high humidity in the board? does baking the boards fix the problem? thanks

How many % were affected? If a few,it can be caused bcoz of PCB coating. We had encountered it and PCB house replaced for faulty boards. Since then, we do test first if we hve to solder PCBs from this PCB house.

Hi, in my experience, the humidity is trapped in the solder paste. Otherwise you can also try to : adjust preheat profile, and /or increase paste viscosity, and /or increase paste metal content (they are the most common causes).

We've never seen the defect that you describe, but in wave soldering-land blowholes usually are caused by moisture in the board that out-gasses through the too thin plating of through holes. * Bandaid fix: bake the boards * Long-term fix: Obtain boar

If it was ROHS I would suspect copper migration. In my experience an acceptable copper finish should last up to at least 6 reflow cycles. If you have bubbles or blow holes in the solder joint, that is a sign of voids in the walls of the copper barre

Hello! I've had the same problem about one Jear ago. We had exessive building of voids in the solder joints. I recomment to take a pincer to break off some of the components. If the solder joint is good, the copper pad will stay at the solder joint
