Hi all, I was carrying out some trials and the attached image is something that puzzled me . What would be the cause of this ? is it excess volume ? poor wetting? aj...

We wouldn't get our underware in a knot about poor wetting on a lead that is not connected to the board. IPC standards seen to say that the inspector should use common sense in interpreting standards requirements. Then again, it's not all that common

We've seen the exact same problem. The solder joints had negative wetting angles and x-sections show that the PdAg termination dissolved into the solder. We no longer allow PdAg terminations.

Open the same size as the via's anular ring. Any slight off print will wet its way back into the via hole.

We saw this one time when we were trying to develop some lead-free product. It ended up being copper migration. Some of the pads had a brown discoloration and those that did would not wet very well. Your elemental analysis would have shown if ther

We have a double sided board with Immersion Silver Plating. After reflow the Silver turns a yellowish color. It still wets good, and the yellow color will polish off with a pencil eraser. Has anyone seen this, or know the cause?
