I haven't put thermocouples on the leading and trailing edge yet (plan to do
so before the next run). The oven is 4 years old and we perform regular oven
rider analysis to check oven health

Have you put thermocouples on the leads on the leading and trailing edge?
How old is your oven?

Subject: [TN] Surface Mount connector discoloration
Dear Technetters,
We have a SMT mounted connector: copper alloy base, Ni underplate and gold
flash on the surface. The connector is perpendicular to the direction of
travel in reflow (LF board, 240C peak). One side of the connector solders
with good heel fillets without any discolored pins, but the pins on the
other side get discolored (reddish purple hue) and has more inconsistent
solder flow on the heel (some acceptable, some barely acceptable). The
connector is rated to 260C reflow capable.
The connector can only go in one way, and it's always the leading edge in
reflow that has the hue. It could be a part issue or a reflow issue. I
wanted to know if anybody else experienced this with the specific connector
material set and what the root cause may be
We have a run coming up and I can/will post pictures. Any suggestions before
the run with just the explanation given above will be greatly appreciated.
I have contacted the manufacturer and await their reply. Just thought I
would also e-mail the experts on the group about this.
Regards,
Amol
