When we have sent some of motherboards for reliability testing in a tird party laoratory. It is found that when Dye&Pry is done after 600 cycles of Thermal Cycling, in LGA socket only one of the corner solder joing had 100% type 3 crack. All other so

We are down to the last few unresolved PCBA test failures in a work order and scrambling to get them repaired and into a mechanical assembly. What we have found in quite a few of these cases are cracked 1206 MLCCs. The failed parts are all the same

| I have a problem with measling on our PCB's. We saw it on our FR4 PCB's at final assembly yesterday. Is this a defect from the board vendor or something we did in our assembly process when building the PCA's (thru hole). Could the wave solder ma

Igmar, If these parts are epoxied in place, and subsequently wave soldered, I would bet you a cup of coffee that they are cracking due to the thermal shock of the wave. Typically there is a valley or dip in the temperature after the pre-heat in the w

Popcorning is the common designation for defects related to the moiture sensitivity of plastic molded components, like PBGAs. The plastic body of these parts will absorb moisture from the ambiant atmosphere on your factory floor. If a critical level

hi Steve/Pete, Thank for your email to affirming our current mounting and soldering flow! In fact, I also don't see any problem for the pilot run(though in small volume - 500pcs). However, the problem is - I am challenged by my customer that the AI

| Having implemented the process of handling moisture sensitive devices our logistics department tries to classify all parts according to their moisture level. | Going through datasheets wasn�t that helpfull, so does anyone know of a source for that

A couple of other potential issues are moisture/reflow related issues. This can include internal delaminations inside the component, potentially breaking or lifting the wirebonds. It may also induce warpage where the corners of the BGA will curl up.

Warpage typically (not always) kinda, sorta points to a fabrication bake induced issue that is the racking technique & may be relieved by "flat baking" under weight. Your baking at 125* won't do dip. You need to get the laminate temperature above it'
