Hi, it seems like a glue problem to me. If you don't have enough glue on SOT23, you have no contact and the part is holded only by the paste, which results bad in the waver machine. So first I would check is the glue amount under the SOT. The second

I've never seen a good article with a definitive explanation - just speculation that the increased wetting forces due to nitrogen result in increased tombstones. My own experience is that nitrogen is a very minor contributor to tombstones and can pr

my oven has a built in profiler, it works fairly well, but it can not predict changes. my main concern was about the time right before reflow. i know that's where the flux is activated and i was worried that i may be spending too much time at the tem

You can keep only the 5th zone as the reflow zone. And lower the first two zones to keep a good ramping rate. Meanwhile,please note the ting temperature in software or control panel is not the exact temperature in your PCB, you'd better get a KIC or

Is there a limit to the time that most components can stay at temperatures around 130-200 deg c? if i slow the time, the first 4 zones will be at this temp for about 5 minutes in no lead process. i am concerned that some chips wont be rated at this t

Based on the attchment it looks like both are low profile and cater for high IO point.What are the challenges in running this 2 type of component?Is there any additional process required other than normal SMT for these 2 packages,like underfill ?

Oh,I consider the process is wrong,it is stencil print paste-mount-reflow -apply glue-reflow,then wave solder. it must pass twice reflow,also the first reflow profile is different and the second .

I haven't worked with anything as small as 01005s, but something you didn't mention is the %metal of your paste. I just switch from 90% to 89.5% (AIM NC257-2) and could tell the difference. Just an idea...

Interesting thought. Our paste is 89.2% according to the data sheet I have, but it still might be worth trying the 84-86% syringe blend. Thanks for the suggestion.
