It sounds like a bit too much solder on the PWB, caused by too large a pad for the lead it will contain. In that case solder reduction is the way to move forward. What are the options there? 1. New stencil or stencils - (not desirable) 2. Increas

First profilers are expensive and you can use temperature dots for setting up a wave. You stick them to the top side of the board and they change color based on temp. Top side temp should be around 250f or 125c when it hits the fountain. If you spra

There are many factors that can lead to solder balls. Since you have just recently seen this start to occur, it is obvious something has changed in the product or your process. Since we don't have a lot of details about your process, I would sugges

| Dear guys, | | I have some problem on assembling micro-BGA with solder paste (63/37). The micro-BGA we assmeble is 0.75mm pitch and with 45 pin (solder bump is 96.5/3.5Ag). The stencil is a laser-cut stencil with 5 mil thickness. We are now usin

| We recently made the switch to no-clean and the wurface mount is turning out beautifully. However, the wave solder process continues to put up a fight; we are getting a white residue on the surface of the PCB. The residue is not localized to
