My experience has been very different from the other responders. We put an in-line system in place about 3 months ago and the results have been pretty eye-opening. We were astounded to see how many prints were actually bad once we started inspectin

What do you mean by "new information"? On final module testing: * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you detect it during final testing, you'll notice it. * If you have hypercorroded nickel and you don't detect it during final testing, you'll ship

Out of interest, are you using an 84V? 84VZ? a 60V? 60VZ? With SBIP or the Yamaha vision system (VICS 1000)? Do you have the old tray sequencer? > WRONG!!!! Why do folks still live in this mindset? I'm not slamming you personally. But this is preva

Another test to consider is dye penetrant analysis. The technique involves flooding the area beneath the soldered part with dye (preferably a bright color, like red). After drying the board+dye in an oven, you peel or torque the part off and inspec

Hello, I have been having some troubling issues when it has come to BGA Placement and I was hoping if there have been others who have been able to resolve similar issues. We are curently doing reworks on a variety of BGA, but seem to be having issu

| | | We've recently encountered this problem where one of our .050" pitch BGA's were reflowing at the wave thus causing shorts... The board was profiled with probes stuck to a QFP solder joint, an 0603, and one of the BGA joints. There was an almo

I'd recommend not using them, personally :) The long term reliability of the SMT joint is suspect, IMHO. I had them for an in-house manufactured bed-of-nails test fixture for testing somewhere north of 5000 units....after the first 100, we were rep
