Hi, Are you testing bare boards or soldered boards. Are the test probes in contact with soldered pads or contacting the copper with the osp coating (not soldered). If you could clarify this it would be easier to give some hints for probable causes.

Hi, I had the same question. In our case we are contacting the copper with the osp coating (not soldered). any published reports that we can reference Thanks

Oh, another thing, we do not like to probe copper. It's hard, compared to solder, and beats-up the probes too much. [As Patrick Bruneel states in this thread.] Consider reflowing paste on your test pads.

I am processing PCB's that have an n-tech osp coating and am finding huge inconsistencies in wetting. Some boards process clean with good wetting and the next has terrible wetting. The boards are stored and handled properly. Has anyone had this

We have 8 layer HASL PCB. We saw molten solder blobs / balls on op side of assembled PCB. (to check, if this was a bare board problem), We passed bare board as received thru, SMT reflow oven and saw solder balls on top side of board. What could be th

So you passed a BARE board thru the oven and got solder balls?

Good Morning WS, If you experieced the solder balls after reflow of a bare board through the oven, then the source of the solder is either the oven or the board. I have had boards with untented via's that were HASL'd that had entrapped solder and fl
