I want to get a collective opinion from the forum... I was always under the impression that Humidity at SMT can be a disaster and can cause solder balls... But what about at the Wave/Selective solder? If every board or almost every board has solder

I have no choice, as per customer's request to remove the solder balls. Can i use water to clean away the solder ball since i'm using RMA solder paste not the water soluable paste.

We find no solder balls after washing our boards. It works GREAT!!! ;-) Probably more to the point, look at "Circuits Assembly" 7/01, p 40, "Eliminating Solder Beads In No-Clean PCBs". "Solder mask type & composition are the greatest contributor t

Solder balls are one of the most popular topics here on SMTnet. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for background. We like to wash solder balls from the board in our cleaner.

I work for one of the largest automotive suppliers. Our Workmanship Standards pre-date IPC-610 but they are nearly identical in regards to solder balls. We supply to all the major OEMs, including the Japanese, and I don't recall our solder ball sta

So with your mounting frustration in your inability to zero-in on the factors that drive your solder balling, are you thinking that maybe you need to bite the bullet and design a experimental study to help isolate the key drivers to your solder balli

Defect if its not coated. Defect - Class 1,2,3 • Solder balls are not entrapped, encapsulated or attached or can become dislodged in the normal service environment. • Solder balls violate minimum electrical clearance.

Does anyone know what are the available type for LF solder balls? I only know LF35. Is there any other types besides this? Does anyone have the data for the hardness of SAC type and LF type solder ball? Many thanks in advance

What can cause solder balls to appear after conformal coating? Using Dymax 9-20557, light curing for 1.5 mins. Can too much heat from light cure cause solder balls?
