Non Wetting

Poor solderability of the leads has caused the poor wetting. The solder paste during reflow has wetted the pads but has been unable to flow up the leads. In the case of the example it is a component problem which needs to be discussed with the supplier.

As a minimum requirement there should be 5 microns of tin/lead coating the pins to provide a long solderable life.
