We switched to a REL0 T3 paste, Amtech LF-4300. It wets the castellations more consistently. I believe that in our case it was more of a plating wetting issue with the parts, but yours sounds more like a pcb finish or thermal issue. That larger pad

Yes. We only do the side not under the component and do 25 mils if there is enough room. A solder preform is simply a block of solder that is shaped like a SMT component and comes in tape and reel. Most solder manufactures offer these. You can ta

Check for warp during reflow or placement, if your board is bowing you are not going to make a good solder connection. If your board is warping during reflow you may need to make a currier to support the board during reflow if using the edge to tran

Used this paste on ENIG boards W/O N2 and had very good results. (0402's,BGA's,16mil FP) Never had the need to use N2 with this paste on our products. Running with N2 shouldn't hurt anything. The wetting properties should get even better than they ar

Thanks dude. It's a bit tough, but I guess so long as it's well thought out, it's like anything else. I shoot for a 60% coverage, pre reflow, with the vias either filled with epoxy, or capped with mask, at least if the plan is to use the thermal pad

I have attached a pdf showing the dimensions for the QFN we placed. First, The pins on the part are not only on the bottom side but also wrap around to come up each of the 4 sides of the part as shown in the side view in the attached pdf. This i

IPC-A-610E-2010, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, 8.3.4 Castellated Terminations talks to the acceptability of solder connections on components like yours. It’s tough to say from the pictures, but I’d say your issues are: Missing solder: Plat

I am not answering for Techguy2000, but I am chiming in here, I have the same problem. Our resistor packs are ceramic body with no leads, they have a metalized area reminicent of the old castelation leads of year gone by. The lead pitch is 50 mil
