Solder balls with wave soldering can have different causes. The two most important are the solderresist and the flux. I have similar problems, after changes the flux type 90% off all solderballs are gone. KR, Joris Groot koerkamp

I would say no, unless your machine is in extremeconditions. You may want to check your flux / preheat out as well. If you are leaving a lot of flux on the board at wave, it may be boiling - which can cause solder balls.

Hi there! If they are just standard headers there's a company called Teka that makes headers and socket headers with solder preforms in them. They call it "Solder Bearing Lead Technology" You can drop them in the board and reflow them just like SMT p

U may check your profile ramp rate. The flux may evporated and look like cold joint

Where could I find more information regarding the double sided reflow and flux problems with white tin?

What about when using noclean and alcohol based fluxes? Could humidity still cause issues?

is there flux on the board? are you probing a test point or a soldered pad? is the probe hitting the right spot?

We are using OSP coated boards and no-clean solder paste. In a few instances, we are seeing increased distortion in an audio circuit. Has anybody seen or heard of surface insulation resistance (SIR) decreasing after reflow on OSP boards? Is it possib

Hey guys, Anybody having trouble with increased false contact issues in ICT after switching from lead to lead free? Our test guys keep trying to imply that the flux residues are a problem (we're using Alpha EF2202), but as the soldering process eng

Thank you for helping finding a direction for my answer. I found interesting things on fluxes at this site: http://www.smtinfo.net/docs/Electronic%20Production/25.htm Due to the lack of precise and concise information on the subject, I think I will w
