Is there a standard (IPC, JEDEC, JEITA, etc) covering the tolerances on percentages of Sn, Ag, and Cu in SAC305? I'd also be interested if there are standard allowable amounts of other contaminants. I couldn't turn up anything in a search of the IP

Let me give you some good advice You take already plenty of risk going lead-free, DO NOT use halogen containing fluxes in a lead-free no-clean process. Halogens left on the board will convert tin, silver and exposed copper into metal salts over tim

I have had my system for three weeks now. It is an MV3L. It is running version 4.5.0 build 2.1.2 software and it is very stable. I have not had a single crash. We are not a board manufacturer but rather use our system to inspect both populated an

Need help from the experts on 1)simple way to measure the PCB warpage 2)what is the maximum warpage can the SMT machine allow the to accept and place the component without problem. 3)I have seen some people are using 7mils/inch as a Warpage spec. a

Hi all, Is there any standard for percentage voiding on the center thermal pad on a QFN? We use the dot matrix array for paste to allow for outgassing etc, but we have had a couple of xray inspection "fails" for voiding on this pad , in or around 3

Hi Sir Charles! Good Day! I hope you can help me about my queries. 1. What is the acceptable misregistration or misalignment of balls after reflow soldering of PBGA module on the PCB? 2. Is there any criteria for solder ball defect or solder beads

Based on X-ray imaging, IPC-7095 standard specifies three categories for void size for BGA solder joints. These categories are based on the percentage of joint cross sectional area occupied by the voided area. Class III Small: Void area is LT 9% Cla

CPk is a measure of the process variance with respect to the acceptable upper and lower limits. In your case it would be the accuracy of placement. The exact position of a chip ideally would be dead centre on the pads however in real life that positi

Dave, May I ask where did you find the 1.5%, or the goal of .005" (or .007") per inch? The IPC-A-600 bow and twist standard calls for a .75% based on the calculation of the test method TM-650, method 2.4.22, which calculates the percentage based on
