| How do I mechanically/visually inspect BGA devices when they are soldered to a PCB for possible solder, or other, defects as a first step before part removal and further analysis? I have had board failures due to poor soldering--I think? I can pr

Dear all We have since few weeks problems with BGA solder joint integrity on ENIG finish. Under relatively very flexible of the FR4, the joint breaks between ball and PWB. When we take off the BGA for analysis, some of the pads seem very flat, totaly

Oven settings are meaningless here. What does the board see? It is the paste we are concerned about not what the heaters are running at hehe. These solder balls are at the end of pad, which end? under the part or away from the part. I believe you

Being in the line of BGA rework and having performed much rework on boards that go into military planes, I can give you an opinion from a practical background rather than an in depth study. Basically BGA's have caused many of my customers big headac

If the flux you are applying by brush is alcohol based, use some alcohol on a few failed PCBs and retest. It souldn't take a lot of flux to reflow the balls to a pad that's already covered with solder and flux from the first BGA - unless you are cle

Hi, can you definitely attribute the 30%yield to poor bga soldering? What is your high flyer defect encountered on the failed boards.Is this ICT ,flying probe ,functional test yield? Can you determine a defect pattern? Did your subcontractor provided

Thanks a lot for the response 1) there are 8 BGA on this board 6 PBGA, 1 TBGA and 1 ESBGA (metal lid). They are dispersed over the board (approx 11"* 14") 2) Is there a tool to use to understand pitch/bump size and stencil aperture (optimized)? 3) Y
