Micheal, What does your profile look like for the wave? What profile does your flux say you need? My guess is it is not your profile, our testing with solder balls found that the mask on the boards was the largest contributor to solder balls. Wha

Chrys, Please, refer firsatly to J-STD-001 Appendix D. Now, consider: SIR testing will help define the reliability of your finished assembly - it will not tell you how clean it is. Which do you or your customer prefer? Present SIR testing de

The causes for solder on gold are: Paste wash offs Dirty stencils Dirty under stencil cleaning cloths/no solvent Poor handling The most common reason is wash offs when there is a couple of balls left on the tabs and they reflow. With correct profile

Ryan, Please consider the following: There is no such thing as no residue flux. Low or no solids flux contain "wetting" agents to help the stuff stick upside down! Try painting your ceiling with less than 2% solids paint!! With all this excess liquid
