You need to remove the oxide before you can properly solder your [or any] component. Call your flux supplier ask them for a more active flux than you are using and for their recommendations on removing the flux residues.

You are not unique. We too are using "no-clean" flux but yet we still have to use flux off to clean the boards before our test bays. I know of no solution to this yet but I am actively seeking one.

If you have another container of flux that is a different batch try that. Dont forget to clear lines of old flux. check spray pattern width. The activators needed may be dead in flux.Since it is sudden my question would be what just changed?

Larry: I'd like to see your angle increased generally and that could fix your problem. Lots of other things can cause skips, such as: * Wave height, your might be high with 2" of contact * Flux contamination, activity * Component contamination * C

Dr. Lee, For Pb-free solders, will the reflow profile be similar to that of Sn/Pb, with an flux activation plateau before going to peak reflow, or will the profile be more linear in nature? Are there advantages/disadvantages to either profile for P
