Modify your stencil aperture shape...reduce the solder paste deposited on pad,will reduce the solder balls.Be sure your reflow profile are good before doing this.rising slope is very important. This is my opinion.thanks. Bryan

I've recently read a posting here which said that the person was trying to reduce solder balls. One of the things the person had done was to adjust the reflow profile so as to be hotter and longer in the reflow state. Am I wrong here? I thought th

Steven, There is a load of info on this if you check through the archives. Quick pointer though are: Solder balls are caused by paste creeping under the component at placement. The part is placed and the paste is squashed under the component, when t

Just received "Circuits Assembly", July 2001 issue. An article regarding solder balls and aperture design, beginning on page 40. This DOE had aperture, reflow profile and no clean pastes (3 types) as attributes. It is advocated that a U-shaped a

Here is what I would do faced with your problem. First I would profile a similar board or use an existing profile. From there I would place the dummy device on the surface of a sample board with a thin thermocouple soldered to the board surface under

You can measure temperatures any place that you would like, but the issue is the temperature of the solder. We've seen solder temperatures that vary from lead to lead on the same component. Why don't you want to measure the temperature of your so
