IPC-A-610 uses words to the effect that it�s a Class 2 process indicator, if either: * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls that are within 0.13 mm [0.00512 in] of lands or connectors, OR * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls exceed 0.13mm [0.00

IPC 610 says acceptable Class 1 (Class 2, 3 indicator) if they are entrapped/encpsulated balls within 0.13mm of lands or pads. or exceed 0.13mm in diameter. Defect Class 1,2,3: Solder ball violates min electrical clearance. Solder balls not entrap

The solder balls you are talking about are caused by too much paste. Reduce the size of the stencil aperatures. Concerning removing the solder balls, the first thing you need to ask yourself is, do I need to remove them. IPC-610, 12.4.10 states, "Ac

Dream: Yes, VIA's are connected to actual SMD pads via traces - roughly .030" from the pad. The VIA is .013" in diameter, and the excess solder bleeds out of the actual VIA barrel after the 1st reflow.... -CK

If you don�t paste / reflow solder on the pads, they will never bridge. ;-) A design with a 0.13mm gap between pads will challenge equipment, materials, and process.

we used the ball bonding, just normal chip on board. as I know the the electroless Ni/immersion Au, the gold thickness is about 0.13um at most, what about chemical plating or electrolytic plating? any experience on it, thanks

Square you say? Wouldnt this give less paste deposition than a circle and basically reduce the standoff height the same as making the pad bigger? Would using a type 4 paste for this size stencil aperture (.013") be a good idea? Thanks JD

You will want the square in this case to be .013" with rounded corners (slight overprint). I do not see why you would need a type 4 paste for this. the aperture as it sits should release well but obviously there is something wrong.

We are encountering insufficient solder paste. Our stencil thickness is 0.13 mm and our printing pressure is 0.08 MPa our solder paste is Tamura TLF-204-19A. Please advice how to solve this problem.

I have used a .013" square under these conditions. Limited run but all were good. 72 qty in 1 batch run
