Has anyone heard whether the elevation of a plant can effect solder joint formation? One plant at sea level, one at 7,000 feet elevation... same equipment and profiles, big voiding defects at higher elevation. I did a search and found no similar post

I am having problems with voids in our soldering process. I believe it to be the fact that we use a no clean flux without control on how the boards are handled (gloves, procedures, etc.) Does anyone have suggestions on the appropriate place to start?

Are the voids in the balls of a BGA? Are you verifying this through x-ray if they are? some voids depending on size and location are some what accepted. Solder paste type? Solder paste date code? Humidity high? PCB's been stored in a truck trailer?

Not enough info, when you say no clean flux, is it for wave soldering process, please provide more detail, SMT or wave, is it all the joint which you find the void? Rgds

If the soldering process is not controlled, the results are variable, regardless of the flux type. Tell us more about your concerns, process, solder, etc

Hello I am looking for any data that confirms the long term reliabilty of no clean paste as opposed to water soluable. Does anyone have any past experiences of problems when changing over from water soluable to no clean in the SMT prcocess?? Thanks i

Are your voids looking like blow holes also? Is this only occurring on the solder joints of the Thru Hole components and Via's? Or does this happen on SMD pads? My experience is that we have seen this but only with some of our older PCB's which are

Two things: 1 Go to IPC and buy "TP-1115 - Selection & Implementation Strategy for A Low-Residue No-Clean Process - Provides direction to electronics manufacturers interested in adopting low residue (LR) assembly technology. It addresses the concern

guys Currently experienced this problem on a product which had been running satifactorily for a period of time. No process changes were made, The problem was highlighted when after ICT when the boards were loaded in to the stress chamber, after the

More and more pople are seeing voids in solder connections other than BGA balls than ever before. Thats because they never looked [never had the means to look] before. Now, they can't stand it and, like that zit that their mother told them not to m
