Lance,

Is this board and are these parts you have shown going through a second pass
of double-sided reflow? If these parts are on the first pass on a
double-side reflow and do not exhibit these solder joints in question until
the 2nd pass then it is the reflow process that is most likely "disturbing"
the solder joint. If double sided reflow is the case you can glue the
suckers down (I believe their weight and their heat attraction/holding are
factors).

  I have attached some pictures of components that always seem to have one
joint that is not soldered as the other end.  These happed mainly with this
component at various sites on the board.  Is this a contamination a
disturbed joint or a cold joint.  This is an SMT process and the problems
vary
  on the runs.  I would like to know if this is a defect for class 2 or not.

  Thanks in advance for your time.
