I'm sorry, Dave - I didn't make myself very clear. Yes, this space (not really a "gap") is filled with solid solder. For instance, if you place a gull-wing component in solder paste, after reflow, there will probably be a thin film of solidied solder

Dears, I've a board with OSP surface finish,and I planned to print solder paste on the test pad for easy ICT, because the probe can't reach the OSP covered pad.But to my surprise,after reflow there's much flux residue on top of test pad(or solder) an

Gregg, We had a similar problem with our 0603 leds. They were being placed bang on, however, during the reflow, they twisted, fell sideways etc. We played with our profile, played with the paste volume & land pattern design, and only had a small impr

Lead Free in 5 zones is tough sledding. Start with your manufacturers solder reflow profile and calculate your belt speed by looking at the recommended heating time for the solder paste vs. the length of your heated zones. Set your belt speed so tha

Is 811 lead paste? If so, it seems to me that your oven settings are getting into soak awful fast in zone 2 and your peak is way high. Unless you are doing a thick board or something like that, those oven settings seem aggressive and might result i
