Nice pix. The pebbly texture that you're seeing is aptly called "orange peel". Temperature appears to significantly influence the appearance of solder spheres during soldering. Indeed, when the reflow temperature is high, tin continues smelting long

The root cause is dependant on the type of solder "splash", ball, whatever, that you are seeing post reflow. If it is smears, then cleaning the stencil underside is probably the answer. Are you using automatic wipers? How many print cycles between w

thanks kpm. agree the cause of those pads lifting. all of them were no connects so they cannot be the cause of the electrical failure. when the bga was removed, all the solder balls on the pcb turned into conical shape due to the separation, except

In-line systems are effective in detecting the obvious defects such as solder bridges, missing balls and excessive solder voids. They may not be as effective in detecting the subtle changes in solder bond shapes (signatures) indicating loss or chang

The causes for solder on gold are: Paste wash offs Dirty stencils Dirty under stencil cleaning cloths/no solvent Poor handling The most common reason is wash offs when there is a couple of balls left on the tabs and they reflow. With correct profile

yes! i though this thread looked familiar! looks like it has been repeated....even the response from muse is very very familiar...that, or i am have a serious attack of deja vu! thanks for the requote though.......by doing some research I decided to

0.076 ~ 0.2 um(micron) but our substrate gold thickness is between 0.3~1.2um. Is there any related to the plating process of substrate! And how can they control this thickness?(May be I should ask substrate vendor their controlling limit). If this i
