It is the solder ball that's usually encountered in a reflow process. It's just that, the paste did not wet well along the connector pins. Before reflow, the paste is actually at the tip of the connector, and stayed there and never went up to fill th

Some causes of lack of top side fillets (hole fill) are: 1. Not enough pre-heat (a top side preheat will help, if no-clean flux, be sure to follow flux mfrs specification for top side board temp just before hitting wave) 2. Not enough flux 3. Flux i

If the only difference is the layer count, check the profile as stated above. If you dont have a profiler you can probably get the local Kic or Mole rep to do a demo on that board. I believe I was the one who stated in an old post that prying the lea

Yes, the main horror story is the cost. Also you will have to dispense/print in lower quantities and with different patterns than solder paste. It does not wick up device legs, it will not correct a part during reflow (no floating action)and will o

Made no changes to pip process for lead free. Everything stayed the same. just have to ensure that components can withstand the high reflow temp. incomplete hole fill is from aperture not being big enough. Many people forget that paste reduces in

Hi Steve Thanks for coming back to me, you are correct IPC class 3 is required. We are getting great wetting onto the device but not as per IPC 3 with the wetting rising about 0.25mm. I am questioning whether it is actually possible with such a (re

| Hey there gang, how's it going ? | | Anyway's here's my probelm, got a new product to build double sided reflow, lot's of so20's and PLcc's 1206's, 0805's the usual stuff. Probelm is all the pad spacing of the 1206's are too big, my component's ar

Good Morning, We are currently using 4 Mirtec machines. We decided on the Mirtec after a side by side evaluation of several tabletop machines. I have to admit that Yestech was not one of them. However, after the evaluation, the Mirtec outperformed t

FYI- Toe Fillets have not been required per IPC 610b/c (they are nice to have though). Remember before Solder paste inspection equipment The Solder powder type/size, stencil type, and apertures are what defined volume. The need has not been until rec
