| Hi, | Need some advice on how to eliminate or reduce the solder on finger that we are having right now. So far what we understand is that 90% of the problem is due to the reflow process where solder traps in vias causing explosion when subj

| Richard, | You may be encountering solder paste contamination | on the assembly during the printing process. Solder | will reflow on tin/lead plated lands therefore invisible. | If you are washing the assembly prior to inspection | then you are

We have successfully put .016" vias in .030" pads. There is no issue with .030" solder balls, since the actual volume of the .002" via in pad is small compared to the ball+solder paste volume. We did notice random bubbles where, apparently, the sol

| I am having a problem with Entek coated boards. The solder past seem to just ball up on the pads. I had no problems with the board when it was hot air leveled. The board is double sided surface mount. I have tried adjusting the oven profiles mak

Just as there are a number of causes of solder balling there are also several factors which can lead to or encourage the formation of solder beads. - During the placement of the component solder paste may be squeezed out from underneath the compone

OK, OK. 672 ball BGA. The pcbs are PC Card bus size and are .015 thick. There are 3 on a panel with about 1/2" between and rails. The aluminum plates are about 3" by 7". There are 3 cutouts which allow for the parts from either side to protrude du
