All,

I have a problem on a new device that we have on a new product. It is a LLP (Leadless Leadframe Package) if you search in google "sda16a" you can see one.

I am finding it next to impossible to consistently achieve a good visible solder fillet along the terminal walls on the device.

I have adjusted Printer and reflow to supplier recommendations but am still getting mixed results.

To get the boards to pass all tests it is essential that this fillet is achieved.

I am usin no-clean paste with a 6thou stencil.

Any ideas please feel free to let me know.(i have searched thry some threads and there are similiar problems but no solutions)

You will not get a "visible" solder joint on this part. The joint is under the part. If you can magnify the part, you'll see the exposed lead is not plated.

Chunks nailed it. You should not expect to see a perfect side fillet on this part, especially using no-clean, it's probably bare copper, hard to wick solder up the side of the lead.

Part is most likely a QFN package. IPC-610-D has standards on solder quality for this new type of package.

one point to remember is to have a large stencil reduction on the thermal pad, you need to reduce the solder volume by about 35%, if you don't you risk the solder from the thermal pad shorting out the other leads or the solder volume causing the component to lift slightly causing open circuit.

Guys,

Just to let you know, I followed the recommendations from the supplier and we have very nice solder fillets now.

Thanks for all your help.
