The only way we can consistently get a toe fillet is to use a paste with an extremely active flux. We allow that paste on certain products, but discourage it's use because it's on the hairy edge of not meeting our lower limit in surface insulation 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

Yo Thanks! right on the money pad, the pinhole occurs mainly in the (fillet's) top-surface central of the whole solder (fillet surface) area. Like you said, large surface area, lowest surface tension. that's a possible cause, that the potential voi

This pattern indicates flex cracking due to excessive bending of the board or fixture after soldering. Ceramic is strong in compression, but weak in tension. When bending causes damaged parts, look at: * Board flexes, ceramic is strong in compressio

The minimum vertical hole fill is defined as follows: Class 1: Not specified, with a 270-degree circumferential fillet and wetting on the secondary (solder source side) of lead and barrel, and a 75% coverage of the land area on the secondary side. Cl

The picture shows that the heel of the device lead is not on the pad. Either bad placement or wrong pad dimensions. I imagine most customers would reject this joint as only a small part of the lead is actually in the solder. With no heel fillet the j

Consider posting actual measurements of your pads, component leads, and apertures.

Is toe fillet still required?
