Can anyone tell me what they think is the main cause of excessive solder at the end of the lead after wave. These are not solder peaks as if the leads were cold. It is a well wetted ball of solder on end of the lead. Also, some times you see excessiv

Matte solder mask greatly reduces the potential for solder balls, and since you altered the machine parameters with no improvement it might be flux related. Do you use a VOC free (water based) or alcohol based no-clean flux? Do you use machine settin

Hi SWAG/Rush/Steve, Thanks for your response, Currently I am running with 811 lead paste. Actually this problem not only effect for one assy. I got 700 models runing at my company, but almost 50% of the model I have problem with solder balls issue.

Comments are: * A good looking solder ball does not necessarily mean that you have a good solder connection between the ball and the pad. We've all seen a bright and shiney solder ball on the floor, but that doesn't mean there's a good metalurgical

Hi, I have recently been asked if I had any information on the voltage capacity of a solder ball. I asked around and did a web search but came up empty handed. Usually people are concerned with the current carrying capacity of bondwires, flip-chip

Your lack of obvious solder balls indicates you have a decent process. However, there are still small solder balls that are free and floating on the surface of the boards prior to wash. That same solder ball is washed off and ends up in the wash solu

We are building class 3 products, using no clean on wave and selective solder machines. Both processes are producing micro solder balls between the leads of through hole components. I have searched the site and haven't found any recent threads on h

If you have solder balls in vias on the "component side" it probably is your wave solder process. Most waves have an option that is designed to make sure your surface mount parts solder - but if turned up too high, can actually push solder up throug

All major solder manufacturers [ie, Alpha, Kester, AIM, etc.] will be pleased to discuss this with you.

What manufacturer of solder paste are you using? Just curious.
