This is one I haven't seen before (not in this context, anyway). We have an assembly that we have the SMT done out of house on, because of the high volumes. The boards have two distinct characteristics with respect to the appearance of the solder jo

A firm grasp on the sublime. Mike points-out a good reason to describe Claude's problem as "open connections" or "open solder connections"? [Ahhh geez, wut a spoil spurt]

Lumpy doesn't sound good. Why not section some of these connections to convince your vaulted leaders that this is not the product they should be shipping to your customers?

Does anyone know why this typically occurs. We have seen capacitors crack due to stressing. Any good solutions? Regards, Steve.

What is your squeegee pressure and size. Also does the pad sit on a ground plane, as it looks like it is partially reflowed so surface has gone but not coallesced properly which would indicate it is more a problem with reflow above 217-219C OR obviou

| I am seeing reflow around my signal pins after being subjected | to a profile of 204c for 1 minute and 225c for a min of 30 seconds. Signal pins are soldered into a copper plated alum. case with SB5 and then silver plated. The pins have a hot oil

This processes has the potential to cause barrel cracking and pad lifting, because the heating is very hot [troop crank-up the volume on their iron when they see thick boards] for a relatively small area on one side of the board. What do we suggest

Yes well, now we used to add a bit of flux to our leaded paste to make it slightly runny, But when we went to unleaded paste the joker who came in from another company to set the temperature on the oven said "you dont add anything to unleaded paste!.

In agreement, in that you should have already printed enough paste on the board to accomodate the joint. Adding paste would give the result you described. (too much solder) Adding a little flux (only) and heat would be the correct path out of that s
