Hi , We are having Pin hole issues on the passive locations in the board after the SMT reflow process. Details: PCB surface Finish : ENIG . Solder paste : Alpha OM338 – M13 / Indium SMQ92J Location : Its Random and more on passive components. {

1) We could press on BGAs and the boards would boot 2) This is basic boot up yield 3) We are now getting stpe by step inspection data going fwd. 4) So, Stencil design could be a critical factor. Any documented guidelines? 5) Yes DFX was done - mostl

| Recently, there has been an upsurge in the Pin Hole/Blow Hole problem in our wave soldering process. We are baking the PCBs for 2 Hrs. at 125 degree C. The Wave Soldering profile seems to be O.K. Still the problem is persistent. Can somebody hel

Well, we got the baking part right at least. I would think that would help to rule out the barrel cracks allowing moisture escape. Plating too thin makes sense to me. In any case, do you think barrel cracking would be observable on a bare PCB?

Thanks for the support Jax. Our current scenario: Baking - Not allowed for PCBs Washing - Not allowed Heat Cycles - 2 (Bottom and top side). It's a notebook board Our concern is related to solderability because OSP finishing will be seriously imp

This could be a long shot but here goes. I have found that if flux is applied in excess that it will actually "move the solderballs" during reflow. I have actually seen where the balls are completely outside the package and oviously there are short

Ianchan, baking as being part of pre-heating is obviously sensless cause the PCB will not maintain any of that heat till soldering. Common reason for prebaking PCB�s is getting the moisture out to prevent outgassing, warpage and maybe other defects.

| | We had some failures on an IC package that the manufacturer has put down to moisture inside the package, leading to popcorning. | | This seems a bit odd, the package is a PLCC 84 which is quite thick. I have only seen this problem on thin package

I agree with all the prior postings! But I have some additional thoughts about this. If there is a build up of moistures (% humidity) inside the pcb; before you reflow the pcba; then you will have the result out of the oven, just as you described. My
