Sounds like you're talking about the "heel" of the lead not being soldered, in other words, no heel fillet, which IS necessary. That problem, for us, was attributed primarily to poor layout (insufficient length of pad extension to provide room for

I would also consider paste control (don't take it personally...I always have to get after people about this one), time on the stencil, time between print and reflow, solderability of the component leads, paste volume (that one really got us once....

If you are certain that reflow process is good, I would suggest starting checking the following: 1. Check to see if leads / pads are contaminated or oxidized. However, this usually results poor solder quality throughout the board. 2. Check the amou

Thanks for the ideas guys. My QC inspector can take a pick and move the back part of the lead....even though the front of the lead is soldered enough to hold. There is SOME NOT ALL areas where there is no solder on the curved portion of the lead.The

Through the pads of conncector(50pin) were printed full solder paste, the solder paste of about 2-5 pads follow to bottom of the connector 2-5 pins, the 2-5 pads outside of connector no any tin after reflow. Is this PCB problem? I can supply failur

It sounds like a board issue. With the current site software, you can not attach pix. You need to post the pix on another site [eg, imageshack, villagephotos, etc] and then post the link here. Or if only a couple of folk are interested, just email

Solder fillet inspection is something that I would avoid like SARS, solder joints are like a snowflake no two are the same, henceforth unrepeatability. The only time I would look into this would be for uBGA or flipchip on an audit basis utilizing X-

In a perfect world, the machines would be maint."guys" for the automation machines. Think "closed loop" system. Anyway, getting back to our reality job, we are still game for automation to improve thru'put, quality, reduce problems. The focus here
