Skipped Solder Joints



We are experiencing skipped joints on a variety of products manufactured through our wave solder process. A cross section of various PCB assemblies confirms that the defects are greater on boards with thicker resist and lower on boards with thinner resist, 50% lower than the pad height. Can you offer opinions on why we are experiencing this problem?

Have you tried selective soldering on these boards? With selective soldering you have a lot more control over the process. If you are interested in sending any sample boards to us we would be more than happy to run them for you.
