Hello Sir. We also encountered the same pin-hole issue but there was around MLCC.I also looked for some information in technical report and internet, But i failed to get an answer. As you know this pin hole or blow hole is caused by the solder boilin

Hi, blow holes / pin holes / holes in joints are usually a sign that there is excess moisture somewhere around the solder joint. Moisture can be in pcbs / components, so try drying them....a simple thing to do is pass a bare pcb throught your reflow

Ashok: You still didn�t tell me why you want additional drying of your boards, but what the hey, we all have our dark secrets. Anywho, let�s consider some options for reducing the moisture of your cleaned boards: OPTION 1 - Up-Grading Your Cleaner

Try baking your boards first to remove the moisture. Moisture and boards that have not been drilled properly will cause pin hole or blow holes in PTH. Also take a look the surface of the pads before printing. You maybe contaminating the surfaces of t

Hello guys ! I have a problem, I am finding some blow holes in the solder join in a resistors pad, can this be because of high humidity in the board? does baking the boards fix the problem? thanks

How many % were affected? If a few,it can be caused bcoz of PCB coating. We had encountered it and PCB house replaced for faulty boards. Since then, we do test first if we hve to solder PCBs from this PCB house.

Hi, in my experience, the humidity is trapped in the solder paste. Otherwise you can also try to : adjust preheat profile, and /or increase paste viscosity, and /or increase paste metal content (they are the most common causes).
