It does make you think the immersion coating is causing the voiding, doesn't it? We never have seen that.

Good article. Would EDX analysis of the cross-section at the void joints be a good method to determine any plating contamination or solder mask issues?

Has anyone heard whether the elevation of a plant can effect solder joint formation? One plant at sea level, one at 7,000 feet elevation... same equipment and profiles, big voiding defects at higher elevation. I did a search and found no similar post

do you mean microvoids or macrovoids??

Yes it does seem like a plating issue and analysis is being done. Thank you for your inputs.

We saw this condition over 3 years ago. It sometimes is called "champagne bubbles". The intemetalic formation is interrupted due to the micro voiding reducing mechanical strength. I discovered this on lead free test vehicles for a major computer

I'm looking for information from both those who do cure glue and reflow past with the same profile and those who have tried and decided against it. What were the problem? What are the limitations?

Is it acceptable to apply an acrylic conformal coat, cure and then apply a silicone RTV on top (for staking tall components)? Should there be a concern with the bond between the acrylic and the RTV?
