Thermal pads located underneath leadless devices require a 50% reduction in the stencil aperture.

So you passed a BARE board thru the oven and got solder balls?

My company is just getting into the flip chip packaging arena. We are putting in a prototype/small volume wire bond PBGA line. We have some questions with regard to choosing solder balls and cleaning of flux. 1) Is there a formula for the shrink

We have 8 layer HASL PCB. We saw molten solder blobs / balls on op side of assembled PCB. (to check, if this was a bare board problem), We passed bare board as received thru, SMT reflow oven and saw solder balls on top side of board. What could be th

Good Morning WS, If you experieced the solder balls after reflow of a bare board through the oven, then the source of the solder is either the oven or the board. I have had boards with untented via's that were HASL'd that had entrapped solder and fl

solder ball was caused by hasl process not reflow. seen before many times, look around wells of smt on bare boards should be more of them

In my experience, solder balls are normally caused by only a few things. In order of likelyhood: 1) Water based fluxes (VOC-Free)not having the water carrier completely dried from the board before going into the solder. I.E, too fast conveyor spee
