Hello Yannick, Have you brought this concern up with your supplier? I would recommend speaking with your flux and paste provider to gain additional insight and recommendations for resolving the concern. Good luck, Sean D.

Crystalline flux if it is really clear should not be a problem. We were using Amtech paste before and we have the same results. Sometimes we mistakenly see it as a dry joint because of the reflections from the lighting of our Metcal inspection system

Haris: On your soldering issues, we don't know the make-up of your component. We don't know the type solder balls on the component. We don't know the solder paste you plan to use. Your component and paste supplier are better sources for this type o

We sometimes use a peelable mask the the PCB manufacturer (board house) adds as part of their process. It may seem an expensive option but avoids: Raising P/o's for tape/peelable mask as consumables booking & inspection Booking out to the shop floo

Jim Consider issuing a purchase order to your assembler for the purchase of selective wave soldering pallets required to solder your board. That way, you: * Own the pallets. * Can take the pallets with you should you decide that another assembler

We'd expect both OSP poor wetting and improper reflow recipe to show-up in more places than just this one component. But if those are the only choices, we'll go for 'wrong solder paste.' Ooops, that's not one of the choices. Ok, OK, we'll take poo

There are a few emerging technologies that have been growing in popularity for the past few years. Pin through paste, press fit connectors and selective soldering machines seem to be displacing custom fixtures. Most of the mixed technology boards o

I attached a RX picture. A lot of voids and micro balls arround the flux residue. What do you think, relow temperature reflow or OSP poor weeting.? I appreciate your comments. Thanks,

Jim, In most cases if you can eliminate a process you will save money. With that in mind, an all surface mount or all through hole design is prefered. There are alternatives to that rule, like hybrid designs that can be pin and paste soldered. It al
