Hi SweetOldBob, how did you say then?

That your problem is not related to component solderability or wave process related makes us believe this has to do with bare board design. Look at how your designer did the thermal relief on the two pins that don't solder well. If you can't get a

Another variable is whether the ground pads have proper thermal reliefs. If the pad has solid ground plane around the perimeter, the heat being applied will quickly dissipate to the surrounding metal. A proper relief of the pad will prevent the hea

Vinny: From a thermal standpoint, your choices are: * Get your customer to design thermal relief in the board. * Set your thermal recipe to assure that the grounded pad reaches reflow temperature. This may require a long soak at a single temperature

As in more dwell? We see the same problem with through holes connected to power or ground planes. The solder reaches the plane and stops. We are having our boards re-designed to increase the thermal relief and expand the hole size. We are also tr
