Good morning, This isn�t very strange. Bottom side components are prone to tombstoning more than topside ones. Try to reduce oven�s bottom heaters temperature slightly to prevent solder paste melting on bottom side. This can help. BR, Pavel

Got a wierd one here, 0402's tomb-stoning. Scenerio---- Double sided PCB, paste both sides, 0402 on both sides. Reflow bottom side first--- no problems. Reflow topside next----no problems with topside components, BUT, the bottom side that was ref

This text may be of interest to any one with tin lead spots Guide to Solder Spots - A New Plague in Manufacture ? So what are solder spots ? They appear to be the next big problem in modern reflow assembly in fact in any process that involves solder

We process a double-side reflow board (10 ups). Chips and IC's on the bottom side while chips, IC's plus thru-hole connectors and IC sockets on top side (bottom side first then top side reflow). In the past, we were not encountering any soldering pro

Put 'em all on one side unless you have a reason to split them up.

Can anyone comment on inspection criteria for PIH applications. I'm of the opinion that the inspection criteria used for wave soldered joints should be used for PIH. Some colleagues believe that a bottom side fillet is not necessary since the solde

OK, OK. 672 ball BGA. The pcbs are PC Card bus size and are .015 thick. There are 3 on a panel with about 1/2" between and rails. The aluminum plates are about 3" by 7". There are 3 cutouts which allow for the parts from either side to protrude du

I've tried a different lot of the same double header connector (yes its double level right angled header conector) twice but nothing has improved. I've also suspected that top row of the connector has greater heat sinking capacity (which should hold

As already stated one side. Also if at all possible change the through hole components to SMT. It is much cheaper to assemble SMT than through hole. Jerry
