Hi experts, I have some multiple and randomly missing components after reflow. PADs are seen in AOI as if the component was never there. I have seen no evidence of the chipmounters missing any components at all while populating the board. We don't ha

Where black pad exists, it is not a common problem. When I read it is totally random I doubt that. You have defiantly something going on that is unique with the process. It is either your board manufacturer or your solder paste or your profile. It c

Normally some random components of size 0604 or below and may be due to a thermal mass being close like a transformer or AC electrolytic caps. We tried changing fan speed, but this will change the thermal profile and avoid the thermal mass from bein

Background: We use a thermal boards to setup/profiling the reflow oven for pilot run.and then daily verify the reflow profile with this thermal board.Now we phased into LF production,and the LF thermal board can only withstand 25~30 times reflow excu

We have seen this problem several times. It always goes back to pad solderability, very seldom does it have anything to do with ball size. If there is no evidence of wetting on that pad, but all of the other pads did solder, you need to ask yourself

Charley, Though my reply is quite late, it might be a good info for you and i hope that this info could help or could provide you some views. Some companies practice at least 1 board gap, which means the length of the pcb you are currently loading,

Can you not just check the part when it is on line and being loaded into the machine? You should only need to check this once. Verify your setup to the bom and not your assembled boards to the BOM. Correct setup and program = correct boards. More

Hi Sam, I have a feeling that what you're trying to communicate is that your DPAK's are skewing off the pad during reflow. This is caused by a thermal "mismatch" where the solder paste on one side of the DPAK becomes molten before the other, then th
