Hello, those plated and solderable via in pads have two critical points: 1. We have discovered that _sometimes_ the plating seems not to be perfect, as extreme voiding is visible in tha bga solder ball 2. The detection of some defects by AXI is limi

iv40, I don't suppose you know/remember what base material you were using that caused the problem and what material you switched to was, do you? We just pre-bake all our lead free PCBs as a precuation but I would like to remove the process if I can

Thanks for the info, Here is a couple more questions (and you thought you were done) What size are these caps /res? how thick is your stencil? what type of oven are you using? what is the finish of the board? Anyway, it seems like (from a distance)t

Russ, The caps are 0603 case size. I am not sure about the manufacturing details, as I work for the capacitor supplier. The manufacturing details are unclear at the moment, as the customer (South of the border) has not released such detailed inform

Dave, I am not exactly sure what is driving them to believe that this is a capacitor issue. It is unfortunate, that this belief has slowed their activity in further understanding their manufacturing process. The caps are BME (Base Metal Electrode

Two things: 1 Go to IPC and buy "TP-1115 - Selection & Implementation Strategy for A Low-Residue No-Clean Process - Provides direction to electronics manufacturers interested in adopting low residue (LR) assembly technology. It addresses the concern

This is a post from another forum as a response from Bob Landman to a claim that he had no evidence to be concerned about lead-free in hirel applications (interesting read). See below and am sure many technetters will find this interesting **********

| I saw the problem of void in solder bump or in lead less component or some BGA. But I didn't have standard specification of that void is accept or reject? Do any body have the better idea or suggestion of the criteria ? | | Thank you, | Wirat

| what is your experience about the presence of the voids in the joints ? | Are they dangerous and when ? Vincenzo, Voids in solder joints can be caused by a number of factors. Let's begin with the flux vehicle in your soldering media. If the prope

If the voiding is not related to entrapped air in your vias, consider trying a different paste.
