We are setting up our criteria for acceptance of solder voids. We would like 2% to 4% or smaller as our tolerance. Does this sound reasonable? Are most x-ray machines able to accurately measure at that size? Also, do most people find that 2% to 4

Check IPC-7095, 7.4.1.6 For Class 2, 45% of the diameter adn 20.25% for the area.

I'd like to know how much capacitor offset from the pad should be acceptable? What are the risks of the placement offset if greater than the acceptable level? I'm still quite new to this so any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Definitely too much pressure for any fluxer I've seen. Something must be restricting the flow. Maybe the nozzle.

Dear All, Is anyone know why too much solder paste might cause tombstoning defect? Thanks

I believe you hit the nail on the head. I just needed to hear it from another person. Glue is a good option. I'll give that a try.

Why do you want to increase the strength of the solder connection? Our experience shows that a proper solder connection has more strength than the strength of the pad to the laminate.

Yes, your strength of the joint is in the intermetallic, and not additional solder. Solder ain't like duct tape, where the more you put, the better it'll hold.

what about for cases of 0306 and 0204 chip capacitors? what is end overhang?

oh and i forgot, what's the risk/failures to the pcb board/unit if these specs are not followed?
