WL1837MOD: Reflow Profile

Part Number: WL1837MOD
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1835, WL1837

We have used the WL1835 for years and they solder down and perform well.

Now we use the WL1837 and are having solder / performance issues. 

On some boards they work, on some they don't. I have tried thermal relief on the ground connections

to improve (Board is 18 layer), but I can't understand why these parts are so difficult to reflow.

but most of my designs are. Lot is LTC:32WMDQCR

10.1.6 Baking and SMT Recommendations from datasheet SWRS170j is observed.

Even after x-ray where solder looks great, some do not perform as expected.

Any tips from process engineer would be appreciated. - Patrick
