Dear SMT Manufacturer, I am wondering if the device could have so much moisture in it and storing it in a dry cabinet isn't going to remove it all. As a final test to see if moisture in the device is causing the voids/solder balls then I'd bake it a

I agree with the two other replies. Left alone, it is a defect. If it's just excess adhesive or coating, you can use IPC-7711/7721 'Rework, Modification and Repair of Electronic Assemblies' for guidance on removing. Section 2.3.1 explains how to te

Ashok, What in earthly heaven does this question have to do with "site support"? You can�t always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need. Some leads are: * The proposed IPC cable/wire harness document is now IPC/WHMA-A-620 and go

Your customer is very unreasonable to demand void-free BGA SJs. Minor voiding is not a condition for rejection per IPC-A-610D, J-STD-001D, or even J-STD-001DS (Space addendum). Having said that, let me tell you that the voiding has little or nothing

You are correct. IPC wants you to pay for that standard, regardless if you get a hard copy or download it. Generally, it�s pretty boring stuff for production types. [Although, you will recognize some of the goofy things your designers have done to

Since I'm new to the forum I probably ask previously answered questions (that I have not found) but I would be grateful if someone could clarify this for me. I'm in R&D at a company where we design low volume (1k-10k) fairly complex PCBAs for our pr

I work with a small EMS shop that has extremely good capability because I created it for an R&D Lab for the U.S. Army. We have at times discussed leasing the equipment/facility to other companies who prefer that to farming out their work to an EMS.

Great work Amol, Please keep us posted about the results of the x sectioning. I personally don't believe that the cracks are due to non-eutectic properties of SAC. Because the alloy is only 4�C off eutectic and when a solder joint exits the solder

I had the opportunity to spend time with a demo and one on one with the inventor of the Ersa scope inhouse a few months ago. I see the scope complimenting X-ray inspection but not as a substitue. It allows you to view attributes of a solder joint t
