No argument here. But I've don't think I've ever seen solder balls on 0402s. Even when they're placed on narrow G dimension pads, where there is little toe fillet, I've never seen a solder ball. But your idea of reversed homeplates would work grea

Hey all! The wave solder warrior is back. I have found a flux which leave almost no residue (the least yet), but because of its super low solids content I absolutely cannot get topside fillets. The multi-layer, two sided board is on a pallet w

Dave - I agree that the U shape for QFP's sounds a bit whacked, for the reasons you state. It may work OK for larger pitchs but then again there are a myriad of fixes that work before resorting to U shapes. With the U shape removing paste from under

we do that and there's a variation on the solder temp. sometimes around 10 degrees, we have 2 solder pallets that are run in intervals of roughly 3 1/2 minutes a part (the time that take the operator to put all 3 terminals in a 42 pcbs per board, and

I got one problem from my production line recently. One 0.5mm pitch QFP IC have been used on my PCBA. Actually, the defect was happened in randomly. Sometime, we got the fillet completely but sometime is not. The solder joint look like is good, but t

Hello all, One of our PCB manufacturers coated a through hole connecters vias with solder mask. The only IPC references that comes close to describing this problem is 2.9.2 Registration to holes, and subsequent specification 6.3.1 PTH � Vertical fil

Armando, Is the problem in the same spot on the board with every run? If so, there might be something about that particular location that is part of the cause (ie. ground or power plane connection). It sounds like you're seeing blow holes, or insu
