IPC-A-610 uses words to the effect that it�s a Class 2 process indicator, if either: * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls that are within 0.13 mm [0.00512 in] of lands or connectors, OR * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls exceed 0.13mm [0.00

I have two cases where I must bake after DI wash. The moisture entrapment is specifically within microprocessor sockets. Without air gun blow out and baking, oxidation occurs that causes flaky contacts for the PGA. We will bake for 2-3 hours @ 60C. O

Where I worked we used a different chip bonder. When we had trouble with flux entrapment in the epoxy from the wave solder, we checked the date of the epoxy. The tube didn't have one but the manufacturer gave a shelf life of 6 months and then the s

You do want to be very careful with potentially entrapped organic materials as they are prone to causing electrical leakage failures particularly around sensitive devices. There is a new clenliness testing tool available that tests a localized area

davef: I am a colleague of Sara at Foresite and we came to the conclusion that the solder balls were entrapped based on the minimal amount of information from the original question and the fact that the x-ray showed the balls and it wasn't mentioned

The cause could be a lot of different things. As long as you didn't use excessive reflow temperatures, we'd guess that: * Solder mask blister: Your board fabricator should be able to demonstrate through TMA [or equivalent] analysis that the mask wa

According to 5.2.6.1, it states that defected if Solder balls are not entrapped in no-clean residue or conformal coating. How do you define entrapment or how do you assess if the balls won't dislodge under normal product service environment? The sold

What are the possible consequences when there's a flux entrapment (location: vias under components)under components during wave soldering? thanks

Greg: It depends on the specifics of the flux you are using. You didn�t say. Generally, using a: � "No-clean flux" should create no flux entrapment problems for most applications. � RMA with 25% or more solids as a "no-clean" should create no flu

BOARD BAKING SCHEDULE: Bake time depends on the board thickness and construction. For laminated FR4 PCB, we bake between 6 and 24 hours at 100�C. ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: Heating moisture entrapped between the laminations of the board too quickl
