Hey Wister, Assuming you are talking about BGA voids, and you just want to try and optimize your profile, you could try a "straight ramp profie". This is where the soak temp is constantly being elivated until you hit reflow. I find this helped me

Hello there, I'm presently experiencing some blow holes and solder voids in the solder fillet of caps on boards. They are ceramic caps. The solder is SAC105 and the parts range from 33pf to 0.1uf ceramic. Any suggestions?

Here’s what we seem to know: * There’s a problem with voiding in the solder connections of SMT capacitors * A void is an open area caused by air or process fluid that is trapped within a solder connection * Voids are an allowable condition as long as

I'm spinning on this. Are we talking PTH or SMT?

I'm sorry. These are SMT caps such as a C0805C271J1GAC. Small 0805 caps. I know they gennerally give you solder balls that sit on the side of those parts but they wash off.

John: Secure the capacitors that you removed from the machine ... * Removed capacitors have a problem * New replacement capacitors don't have a problem Find help to determine the difference between the two reels of parts

blow holes and via holes are almost always caused by moisture and in PTH they could be moisture and improper drilled holes. If you are seeing solder balls next to the parts than I would say you have a reflow profile problem. Are you using any kind of

Yes I have a KIC and have checked the profile often. I just changed the reel of the parts that are causing problems and it went away. Now what am I suppose to say? I have made an NCMR for the parts but I'm sure they would work in an environment of

Hello! Do you have a better stencil design to reduce the large area of solder joint voids? Or is there a suggested way to set the reflow profile? Or are there other process improvements to make the solder joint at the LED pad less than 10% per void?

Dear Steve, Thanks for your feedback in our experience add solder paste volume is better for the voids reduce of LED type components.
