Hi Ioan,
Have you tried and extend your soak time to allow the moisture to escape
prior to reaching the liquidus stage. I have seen this problem before and
slowing down the profile does help reduce this problem.
Best regards,

Multicore WS200 as WS and AIM NC254 as no-clean.
I want to state that both pastes work fine for us and publishing the details
is not related to concerns about their performance.

Ioan, which brand and part number solder paste are you using?

One is ENIG with no-clean paste, the other one is HASL (with WS paste).
Thanks,

It may still be a board problem. I would bake some boards and assemble
some suspect parts. By the way, what board surface finish are you using?
Best regards

Hi Technos,
for a couple of days I see occurences of blowholes in the joints of,
guess
what, SMT 0603 resistors.
The reflow recipe did not change and we're talking about 2 different
established products, we have run many of each before. One is WS, the
other
one no-clean. Each one uses different brand of solder paste, SnPb.
I have changed the paste with fresh one, no positive results. I have
changed
the reels with different date codes, Bingo! But even the "bad" parts
were
quite fresh, less than one year old. One of them is pure Sn plated,
don't
know about the other ones.
The question is: where on Earth can humidity stay in a ceramic resistor?
What else can be the cause of the blowholes? Did not bake the boards,
since
changing the components worked, so I guess the PCBs are out of the
hook...
Thanks,
Ioan
