I'm no expert but I think you will find the majority of discussions around BGA & good printing results focus on the PCB design and things like tented vias and pad definition. e.g https://macrofab.com/blog/bga-pad-creation-smd-nsmd/ After that, work

Armin: How ya doin� bud? CK gives good advice, but I'd like to take a bit of a different angle. Q1. For 0.7 mm (0.027in) diameter hole for vias, what�s the minimum annular ring for this hole diameter? Depends on what you�re trying to do. For in

I work for a board house and our proceedure for this process is the following, We cover the via pads leaving the hole open and then apply the surface finish and then go back and Cover the Via with a second operation. By doing this you do not entrap

Depending on the how you plug the via, the void level can significantly affected. If you have via plugged from the bottom side; i.e. opposite side of the component, you will see alot of void due to entrapped air in the via hole. I found work best wh

A couple of things that have helped me with solder ball issues at wave in the past: 1. Flux. Insure good flux coverage on the bottom of the board. 2. Preheat. Insure that the board is sufficiently preheated for the wave operation. Since you're

Jax - absolutely right - the archives are a valuable tool and deserve to be used more than they seem to be. Caumel - Are your blobs on the solder side or the component side? Are your vias tented on the component side? What size are your vias? Is th

I have had some field failures returned recently, the boards had flux contamination under the components in a sensitive area, Nothing really visible until the component was removed, and the board had no evidence of rework of any type. Is it possib

Just to help convince those on the fence that we don't know dip: 2221A, 4.5.1 tells you the vias have to be tented on both sides.

Recommended land and solder pattern says: VIA wall plating, via holes should be tented with solder mask on the backside and filled with solder. Solutions at this moment ? Thanks for all :)

I am looking for the Industry standards on vias. Are they required to be plated with solder or is copper plating enough? What about reliabilty with either one? Also, if tenting the via is required should it be copper plated or solder plated over c
