The reliability of a Gullwing component solder joint is in question when insufficient solder is evident: *at the heel of the lead *at the toe of the lead *none of the above

If there is a way to pre-tin the parts, that might help in forming better joint with gold.

Hi... We tend to do a lot of footprint calculating for new SMD components. But what about the amount of solder paste on the solder pads. The amount of solder alloy is of cause determined by the stencil aperture size, stencil thickness and the sold

You can use the IPC-7525, Stencil Design Guidelines for start up.

Hi Recently i have noticed that after reflow (hot air oven) on the solder lands without components but with solder(screen printing) there is discoloration. It looks like gasolin spilled on the wet road (rainbow). Any idea and reason Ralf

This sounds like it could possibly be a case of Black Pad. We have had a few issuses with this in the past as well. Who the PWB vendor? I also recommend searching the archives and doing some solder samples with nonpopulated boards

Dear all We have since few weeks problems with BGA solder joint integrity on ENIG finish. Under relatively very flexible of the FR4, the joint breaks between ball and PWB. When we take off the BGA for analysis, some of the pads seem very flat, totaly
