1 ) Component is not Rohs : Material analyzes confirm that they contain lead over than < 1000ppm 2 ) upper piston blocked after reflow 3 ) wetting was unstable and slow due to heat transfer

will you produce with ??

Thanks Davef, we are using a mill max pogo pin on a small pcb that is panelised into a panel of 50, we have had a jig designed to get them straight instead of hand placing, there are 4 per pcb. We have followed the manufacturers guidance for stencil design and the profile looks good but the pins snap off easy and leave the pads on with a strange finish on the pad.

So wetting was unstable and slow . You need to do a wettability test to make sure about that defect .Also a material analysis to know the composition of the materials that constitute the components . if you get negative test results , you need to do a supplier complaint .

can you provide us some picture of the defect?

Use a free cloud service like udrop or wetransfer.

From your description, the plating is coming off the pogo pin itself ?

Also, unless you absolutely cannot sub the part, consider the following vendor - have others as well that service the 'pogo pin' markets with quality solutions.

Strange finish on the pads? So no solder left on the pad? Pad on the board or pad on the part? Does the jig go through the oven with the board? If so I would recommend sacrificing a board and drilling a hole in the bottom to have a thermocouple at the joint when you profile.

Many pogo pins have a plating that may not solder well. The plating is intended to limit corrosion on the pogo pin from soldering flux. Back in the old days, they used gold. I have no idea of what they use now.

Yes, we soldered some Mil-Max pins on a functional test board before. Utter nightmare. We managed to finally get them on, but yes, terrible wetting, and they act as total thermal sinks. Make sure to oversize you pads.

Slanting Issues after reflow if u are using thru-hole type, u might need to define the slanting degree allowed during prototype. =)
