A type of open, known by a number of names (including crocodiling, surfboarding, Manhattan effect, drawbridging, Stonehenge effect, billboarding, etc.).
Show DetailsWicking Defects
A Wicking Defect is the flow of solder either up the lead of the component or along traces and possibly under insulation and through via holes.

The reflow soldering profile must be matched to the specific requirements of the solder paste as well as the thermal thresholds of the PCB assembly.
