Dear Justin Wu:
From the photo, we can find the solder ball on topside PTH, due to solder mask in the PTH and caused the hot air chould not through the TH at the HASL process, if void the same question reoccur, the solder mask film need be revised. you can let the PCB manfuacture plant to enlarge the solder mask opening or plug the TH by solder mask.
 
Many Thanks,
Best Regards,

Subject: Re: [TGAsia] Solder Ball

Hi All,

 

We have found some solder balls inside TH on the PCB (See below photo), however there is no exact matching of the defect mentioned in IPC, but according to IPC-A-610 Clause 5.2.7.1, the solder ball is accepted if it is embedded in the solder resist. So, would you please share your experience in such case with me?
