From the picture you present, it is a pin in paste part with pin length 2.2mm (a good length for 1.6mm PCB thickness), and seems the pin tilted and touch on PCB surface, thus causes up-part. Sorry I cannot image pin tilted not before placement but i

Dave, I had the same problem in the past. Use fresh paste and a slightly higher profile. My guess is that you may not be completly reflowing. It worked for me. If that doesn't work you may want to check the bga itself, make sure balls are universal.

0.25mm tilt? That's pretty small depending on you BGA size. Is it failing? Or just your Q.E. being anal? What size BGA we talking about? What ball count? Just one board? Maybe cheaper to just repair. Now assuming there is NO part under the BGA

Sebas, I suspect that your finding of needing the fillet for the card to work is a false finding. One that I dealt with for many years in assembly. As a bottom terminated device, a fillet to the side terminals of the device is not required. Adequ

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

Some things to look into are the component finish, material and composition of the solder, design of the smt stencil, reflow profile or process atmosphere (N2 or air)also contribute to the solder result. The influence of the PCB itself should be co

skandaae: By "tilt" do you mean that one end of the 0603 has lifted from the board surface? If so, we call this "tombstone". In general, tombstoning is caused by an imbalance in temperature or forces on the component. * Convince yourself about the

I would ditto CAL, we have a jewel box 90 with the 5 axis and we love it. I really like being able to tilt,rotate,and move side to side front to back, Angle viewing under a BGA can be very informative as to the quality of reflow in seeing ball coll

Has the board been looked at under X-Ray? Have you built more than 1 of the boards in question? Do any of the other boards have the same problem? Have you made any changes to the profile between boards? One side of the BGA collapsing during reflow w

Hi All, Thanks for all the replies. I am placing a 672 Pin BGA. Its the only BGA on the board (Board size 220mmx100mx1.6mm) We build these in batches of 400. So we have built approx 1200 since transition to Leadfree. Latest batch had 7 fails -
