Have you tried different board orientation through the oven, or have the boards been put through the same way each time?

Sorry looking at your profile again and considering its Aluminium substrate I would opt for an increase to the preheat or introduce a soak to the profile to get the PCB up to reflow. Try soaking between 175 - 200C sufficient enough to heat the whole

We wound up using a ramp to spike profile with 50 sec. between 150C and 217C and 90 sec. above 217C. The idea being the flux is still active when it hits reflow, and it stays in reflow long enough for the weird alloy in the parts lead to wet. All par

| I am seeing reflow around my signal pins after being subjected | to a profile of 204c for 1 minute and 225c for a min of 30 seconds. Signal pins are soldered into a copper plated alum. case with SB5 and then silver plated. The pins have a hot oil

What is your squeegee pressure and size. Also does the pad sit on a ground plane, as it looks like it is partially reflowed so surface has gone but not coallesced properly which would indicate it is more a problem with reflow above 217-219C OR obviou

Testing effect of non-clean flux residue on solder joints

Electronics Forum | Mon Mar 20 16:47:13 EDT 2017 | u4bga

We're currently using no-clean flux (SR-12) in a no-clean manual soldering process. The brownish flux residue impedes direct visual inspection of the solder joints. Therefore, we're forced to clean the residue off. (1) Is there testing we can do

We have had soldering problems with fine pitch QFP in the past [and probably will in the future]. Several questions leap to mind: * When you took your profile on the component pads, do you profile on the pads that did not solder well? * When you say

Well, I was able to convince them we had a serious problem on the poorly reflowed boards without spending 2k on off- site analysis. Now all we have to do is sort out the ones that flowed well but had solder balls (looks like a damaged stencil prob

A firm grasp on the sublime. Mike points-out a good reason to describe Claude's problem as "open connections" or "open solder connections"? [Ahhh geez, wut a spoil spurt]

No comment or intent to appear critical on your particular situation, because you did the troubleshooting to determine the source of the problem, but �solder on the component lead, but not on the pad� is more often caused by a reflow profile that get
