I have an inbteresting problem on my N2 wave soldering lines. We have two N2 wave soldering line. Line A is old one and Line B is new. We found solder balling Phenomenon on PCB After soldering in the new N2 Atmosphere Wave Soldering Machine. In the c

We are having problems soldering this motorola part(XPC860TZP50B5). After reflow, some of the balls appear to be sitting on the reflowed paste rather than wetted to it. We reviewed parts and found oxidation on many. We have four other BGA's, from oth

We are in the process of validating Silicon 1C55 (thermal cure) conformal coating over Alpha LR725 solder paste. I am looking for anyone who may be using this process, or has been exposed to someone who is doing this process. Our concern is with the

If the solder balls are next to your discretes, you should consider a homeplate design on you stencil apertures. THe only other time we have seen soler balls is due to the raw card. If the vias are not plugged by the solder mask, solder and air can g

I have seen that moisture in pcbs will cause mid chip solder balls. To discount this, take one pcb from a batch that is giving you solder balls and pass it through you reflow oven with no paste or components on (bare pcb)using your normal reflow prof

Can anyone tell me what they think is the main cause of excessive solder at the end of the lead after wave. These are not solder peaks as if the leads were cold. It is a well wetted ball of solder on end of the lead. Also, some times you see excessiv
