Hi all, Any stencil opening recommendation for 20mils pitch mirco BGA. Currently, using 12mils round opening, 5 mils thickness. Seen to have weak joints as it crack after Ict testing. thks

Try .005 or even .004 thick laser cut electopolish stencil and reduce grain size of paste. Go with 400 or 25 in the case of AIM. We had a similar prob.

See Fiske first line. I'd bet You are bending or catching the assembly in the ICT. How many probes at 8OZ each? do you use on that ICT? 800 probes = 400lbs. See "Flexure induced failure of BGA solder joints" by Compaq Houston TX

I have printed and placed similar devices in high volume with exactly this spec for a couple of years with no problems, are you using laser cut stencils and what type of solder paste are you using? and what is the end use of the product as it may nee

CK, If joints have been validated prior to ICT (under BGA Scope), more often than not repeatable joint fractures are due to undo stress being placed on the component during ICT test. Verify ICT probes and fixture. If after proving out fixture/pin com

We have used a laser cut stencil 0.15mm (0.006") thick with 0.3mm (0.012") square apertures radiused in the corners 0.06mm (0.0025") to aid paste release. This approach with the (type 3) paste we use has proven successful on thousands of devices plac

Looking for recommendation, need your on hand experience to decide on narrowing stencil opening relatively to actual pad on pcb for 0603 and 0402 components also info on stencil thickness ? (I have a very dense board with 0603 and 0402 comp.) Thx
