| what is your experience about the presence of the voids in the joints ? | Are they dangerous and when ? My specifications require rejection and study if voiding exceeds 2% of solder joint volume measured using x-ray and/or x-sectional analysis. My

Hi all, We are using small CSPs (10x10mm) in one of our products which has a big ground pad in the center (7x7mm). The maximum voiding allowed on this big pad is also no greater than 25% which we are finding very hard to achieve. The centre pad ha

Yes. Baking boards is best. Hitting the hamer on the head!

Can anyone point me to a specification or paper describing the existance of voids in transfer mold epoxies during CSP assembly? We have found very small bubbles in our process, but cannot find any information as to whether this is acceptable, and if

Most of our discussions here on SMTnet have focused on underfills. With transfer molding, voiding near the die, wire bonds, or leads contribute to more failures than others. Try: * Tim Chen, Cookson Semiconductor 800-223-9057 * Ron Molnar, Abpac In

I have a thick board with ground planes that will be soldered by hand with a mildly active solder/flux. X-ray confirmed that solder was added to the top of the joint causing a void between the bottom and top solder joint. Other than the mildly acti

| | Our spec on voids is 30% ball diameter in the center. On the component to ball and pad to ball interface, we use 25%. To determine this spec, we asked around. I don't know of any studies that have been done to verify if this is OK | | | | Regard

Hi I am pretty sure it isn't the pad that is causing the problem. To me it seems like those via holes through the pcb either to an internal plane or to the other side. I can imagine creating an interesting stencil to accomodate the vias yet you are

Hi Gee, It seems funny to comment on your own post. I notice that the original poster and a respondent, like me, are striving to create some voiding by design to improve the way this joint will form. NEAT!! I still think that those vias as DaveF p

I am looking for a conformal coating to protect a PWB that will be completely submerged in water. Unfortunately polyurethane will not work because it will not fill all of the small spaces and leaves voids.
