Where black pad exists, it is not a common problem. When I read it is totally random I doubt that. You have defiantly something going on that is unique with the process. It is either your board manufacturer or your solder paste or your profile. It c

Hi Guys, thanks to everyone for their help and advise! we are running these LCC parts in the 1000's, so its going to pose a big problem to either: 1) tin-plate the oxide layer, 2) HCL away the oxide layer, thanks for the option shown, dun think so

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

Hi mates, have this SMT production issue : A) We have a leadless-chip-carrier(LCC) IC package that is classified under the Land-Grid-Array(LGA) package family. B) The LCC is 4mm x 4mm, and has 28 tin plated pads located beneath the outside perimet

We have been having a solder paste reflow issue which results in the solder not wetting to the LED lead. The solder appears to create "puddles" on the pcb pad. I have attached AOI image for review. We have had the pads analyzed for contamination, w

try Almit Sn62 HM1 RMA V14L ....its the best no clean lead paste for wetting...I sell it and it has solved wetting problems many times when users have used other pastes

to summarize - 3 components are placed on a single module x 8 on pcb - 2 anodes & 1 cathode are infected (so no component for us) - the problem does not look like wetting problem as the component and land pad is wetted, but the paste is not complete

Does the established joint still exist if once again re-touched by a soldering iron, or does it return to the original problem? Wetting issues on pad could be for many reasons and you could analyze with a cause effect diagram.

Is the solder wetting to the pad, and not to the part? If so, and all other things being true (same process, profile, solder), we'd suspect some contamination on the part preventing solder from wetting to the part. This could be tested by attemptin

davef As for the repair : - with hot air blower it is not possible (you can melt, but it will not wet) - with standard iron - no problem to repair (no additional material is needed) isd.jwendell yes, the profile is checked on those places (same si
