We've got an auto fuse clip (a pair of tin/nickle spade type receptacles joined with a nylon bridge piece) giving us fits. The pins on this thing have a right angle profile (symmetrical "L" shape) and make great flux traps. No amount of tweaking pre

Dave that's actually what I want to work on the next time we run these. Our issue with these right now is that weight distribution on the boards mandates that we break a 4-up panel into two pieces and run it 90 degrees to the ideal orientation (=s wh

That's a good idea. We did pull the bridge piece off of one just to see what happens with the receptacles only, so no flux blockage. They flowed great with no blowholes, but also filled with solder. :/

Thank you very much for your response.I would like to know in which cases this could be the case. We have a disagreement how to interpret this and I need a 3rd opinion. Thank you very much for your help!

While I wouldn't be happy with this "Hershey's Kiss" appearing solder connection, I'd suck it up and and accept it as acceptable according to IPC-A-610F, Section 5.1

Try lifting the part with a small piece of paper. I've seen caps that did this and giving the flux a way to vent out the top side of the board got rid of the blow holes. It'll take ya 2 seconds to to try - that plus the 3 minutes to wave solder.

Using a X-Rays machine, we have noticed that one component we are using has the silicon die bonded at an angle in the package. Have you ever seen something like this? I'm not sure if it's intentional or a manufacturing error.

That is unusual. Is it a once-off or SOP for that part?
