We faced terrible void issue while using Sn96.5Ag3.5 solder paste, more than 20% void. We tried adjusting the reflow oven profiles but we did not have much success in reducing the void. Generally, we find quick preheat, high peak temp. and fast cooli

I am having problems with voids in our soldering process. I believe it to be the fact that we use a no clean flux without control on how the boards are handled (gloves, procedures, etc.) Does anyone have suggestions on the appropriate place to start?

Not enough info, when you say no clean flux, is it for wave soldering process, please provide more detail, SMT or wave, is it all the joint which you find the void? Rgds

Thanks Dave! What level of voiding is acceptable? Would you please let me know if there is an EIA or other industry standard detailing solder joint quality? I will begin researching the background information you provided. Thanks again for your kin

Has anyone heard whether the elevation of a plant can effect solder joint formation? One plant at sea level, one at 7,000 feet elevation... same equipment and profiles, big voiding defects at higher elevation. I did a search and found no similar post

Hi Everyone Does anyone has any insight regarding the void formation in the solderbumps during wafer bumping by electroplating. Someone told me that it could be mainly coz of the alloy concentration being incorrect. Any suggestions, corrective action

Thanks Russ! The origianal complaint from the customer was in regards to what appeared as "bumpy" appearance and "holes" in the solder fillet. This problem was originally presented as an appearance issue only. Further investigation by our DPA lab r

Recent cross-section analysis for a customer complaint revealed voiding in the solder fillet. In some cases, the remains of outgassing were also observed. During the failure analysis, we also observed failures where the solder fillet wicked on the
