We get this from time to time and I have found that a lot of times the customer or somebody has broken the joints from flexing or other handling. Is this component in the center of the PCBA? Russ

Agreed. Joint failure can happen when un-bagging or durig box-build (at customer site). Careful handling should be used. In one case I had boards returned to me for evaluation and failure analysis. Too bad our site never built the boards!!! (jacka

We have a Dek Horizon and we have started getting a data file open error when trying to save files. This is resulting in us having to re-teach board fiducials etc in every time we switch back to a previous job. Any ideas?

Trace repair is dependent upon the operator. A highly skilled operator can repair a trace with no adverse effects on assembly. IPC has a manual on reapir methods and there associated risk relating to reliabilty. I wil try and find number when time

Comments are: * It�s interesting, but not surprising that your time above liquidous varies around the sides of this component. * You are correct in thinking that it is better to reduce than to increase the temperature differences around the component

Experiencing a problem with a 208 PBGA device. I am achieving good wetting with the exception of one ( damn) pin on the outer corner.I have a really good profile but the worrying thing is that it is so inconsistant. Once this open pin failure is dete

We encounter this problem also , I know that it 's acceptable per IPC standard but sometime it fail at ICT and FCT , then this problem should be prevent , we found it with QFP 16 mil pitch and the defect looklike negative wetting at the front of lead

We have seen this problem several times. It always goes back to pad solderability, very seldom does it have anything to do with ball size. If there is no evidence of wetting on that pad, but all of the other pads did solder, you need to ask yourself

This BGA could have gone through the reflow cycle two times as we understand from the BGA manufacturer, during the BGA ball attachment process. (If any ball is found missing, they replace the missed ball manually after applying flux manually and refl

Cheers to you Your gold plating is specified for the gold wire bonding between the die of your BGA and the pads on the BGA substrate. For solderable surfaces this is heavy on gold for use on pads. Gold SB thinner on pads to limit the amount of gol
