Steve , I use a general set of guidlines when developing reflow profiles: Ramp rate to 140 deg C - 50-60 seconds Time at preheat (140-160 deg C) - 90-120 sec Time above liquidous (183 deg C) - 45-90 sec Time at peak (215-225 deg C) - 9-12 sec peak t

If it were other machines I would suggest the possibility of air kiss blowing the solder away, but mydata's have a release to make sure the air kiss never gets too high. Unless it is not pointing 90 degrees away from the machine like mydata recommend

Thanks, gentlemen. All points well taken, and some hit pretty close to home. Our pick-and-place programmer assures me that coplanarity isn't the issue because the machine won't (or can't) place parts beyond an acceptable criteria. It's an Amistar

Manish, I've seen similar phenomenon when processing CSPs on our cards. In our case, we were placing the components over the opening to in-pad blind vias. Due to poor drilling and plating processes by our board suppliers, volatiles were outgassing

This appears to be black-pad and is often the result of using specs that call for gold plating that is too thick. The black pad is corrosion that is created between the gold and electroless nickel during the gold plating process. This is counter in

Phil Zarrow wrote a useful paper that could help in evaluating paste. Here read it ... Evaluating Solder Paste � Not An Option Contributed by Phil Zarrow of ITM an Independent SMT consulting firm With soldering being the dominant source of assembly

See what happens when you take a couple of days off? Your theory sounds reasonable, but someone else could make an equally valid case that you are blasting your solder plug across the room with the force of the expansion of entapped air between th

Having 10c thermal differential is a lot. Trying different paste might help - usually thermal expansion makes component detach from PCB, then joint is formed and solidified, then component goes back but is too late to form a joint. Cooling speed migh

I am considering using high-temp ball Sn10Pb90 + eutectic solder paste for MLC reflow (no underfill). You can see that there is no Intermetallic bond for the paste and the balls. Under high stress/shock condition, the solder joints develop micro c

Any view on what the minimum reflow temperature is for a SAC ball bga to form a reliable joint with PbSn solder?
