On all the trials I have done I have made no changes to the stencil thickness or apertures than the normal changes we make for our process. I have not changed any thing in terms on volume of solder for more reliable joints. I fact I have not read any

We agree with Wolfgang. Adding points along his line of reasoning: * Also consider placed component prescience. Sometimes, a mis-pick results in paste on the nozzle, which leads to the next component being stuck on the nozzle and not placed, which

Hello Kris If you do have and OSP coating I'd say Curtis has nailed it. But you seem to have references to gold. Does this board have a standard nickle/gold finish. If so what sort of "solder on gold" problems were you having? Reading between the

Wolfgang, I appreciate your continued feedback! The main reason that I shortened the Time Above Liquidous (TAL) was it appeared that I was burning off all of the flux from the paste. By shortening the TAL to 45 seconds and decreasing peak temp to

Jacky: There�re major four factors that affect the reliability of a solder connection. 1 Design of the connection including the shape and height of the lead and the type and amount of solder. 2 Dissolution of base metals into the solder connection.

| We've recently encountered this problem where one of our .050" pitch BGA's were reflowing at the wave thus causing shorts... The board was profiled with probes stuck to a QFP solder joint, an 0603, and one of the BGA joints. There was an almost 7

Thanks for the acvice, Dave and John. Like I stated above, I didn't feel comfortable with changing wave parameters since I knew that we'd be compromising our wave quality. I'll try the peelable mask thing, reprofile, and let you guys know what i fo
