Wow, what a string of answers and nobody brought up the easiest way to eliminate solder balls. Yes, the paste being squished under the part does reflow and work it's way out to the side during reflow. I did a 5 week study on this (when I was a bori

What is the difference of formulation No-Clean Sn63 with No-Clean lead free paste? Is there techniocal data in detail for performance property of No-Clean lead free paste (for example, viscosity, solderability, tack, print life, reflow profile)? Is

Want to update this question a little, I know it appears few years ago, but I hope there is some updates... We have to assembly few samples of motherboards with this kind of finish (customer mistake during pcb order). Normally we can use leaded sold

Solder balls or mid chip beads? Remember IPC classification for Class 2 allows mid chip beads encapsulated in flux. Usually on R's and C's first thing I would do is verify .006 laser stencil 10% reduction and the most critical, The paste must be on t

One thing that will also cause this is very slight stencil mis-alignment. Sometimes the paste will have a tendency to hang up in the apertures if you are over hanging just a little on the solder mask. Some solder mask are very slick and will not pull

Few solder paste suppliers recommend freezing solder paste. Check with your supplier for recommendations. Examples are: * In many cases, nothing happens. However, some pastes are susceptible to damage that impairs paste performance. As a consequenc
