This is a defect in all IPC classes. Solder has not wetted to the land where solder is required.

OK, part touching paste before reflow? Check part. Maybe bad plating. Check reflow profile by slowing conveyor.

Can u elaborate on the bad plating? Have u had any experience on this before? The component has 90/10 Tin lead plating

Questions are: * So after you spot one of these leads sitting on a nice pillow of solder, what happens? * Do you rework the part? * Does it take solder? * What do you do to make it take solder, if it does take solder?

That's your clue. Your reflow is running ~240*C and your soldering iron is running ~370*C. Dial-up the heat.

This looks like it could be related to oxidation.Do you per-bake your pcb before assembly to remove any moisture inside your board panel?

Repairing these PCBs was not an option due to the delivery amount. Oxidation is unlikely, as these anomalies were visible right after unpacking them and the humidity card was not suspicious. We have since decided not to use these PCBs as the risks w

Is the solder reflowing on the pad but not wicking up the lead, or does there appear to be insufficient solder to wet both, or is it not reflowing at all, or.....? Have you verified your profile? What is the condition of your paste (expiration date,

Check for coplaner leads if this just exists at reflow process, i.e. look at part before oven, turn on 3D at placement machine. If you see after wave solder, the wave could cause coplanarity issues on top as well if you are going slow enough to refl

By profile (profile has not been changed) are you referring to the oven zone settings or the actual charted profile of a trip through the oven as recorded by a thermal profiler? Some ovens will continue to function without warning as long as temps
