I am looking for data on the yield of printed circuit board assemblies so that I can judge if our SMT line is performing up to typical industry standards. Following I will describe the details of the assembly and what our yield has been. Each board

We are starting to see issues with using Kester WS R562 with lead free components. The joints look grainy on almost all of the 0402'2 and other small components. Some of the solder does not solder to the terminations. These are hybrid boards which

It sounds like 3D imaging is much better at fault detection for partially visible leads like SOJ packages. Can any of the 2D systems actually do a solderjoint inspection on the outer rows of BGAs or is the angle too acute to accurately look at these.

| QFP's are best left the professionals. There are MANY subtle issues with fine pitch lead forming such as critical tool design issues ability to check critical dimensions etc. Unless you want to replow this grown in hopes of getting a promotion or

One of our customers' products has a couple of adjacent 0603 packages (one resistor, one cap) that are .010" apart. They are side by side, not end to end. The adjacent pads between the two parts are electrically connected so bridging isn't an issu

3D imaging refers to the acquisition of images from multiple perspectives using, preferably, multiple sources of illumination, while 2D imaging refers to the acquisition of an image from one perspective. An AOI system with 3D imaging is able to acq

We are using a right-angle SMT power connector on a board. The connector has 4 leads and two board alignment pins. The layout for the board is such that 1 of the leads is not used and the pad for the lead is not connected to anything, not even grou

Loco, Since Dave didn't respond i will. We shouldn't forget that even when using tin/lead solder the boards and components are still lead free. Parts that are not completely wetted by the tin/lead solder still have the potential for tin whiskering a

I agree that it should be a non-issue considering that the primary purpose of a solder joint is to electrically connect the lead to the board. However, there are some here that think these leads should be touched up because this part is a power jack

As a rework house to contract manufacturers, a majority of the BGA rework we receive is failing due to Black Pad issues. Recently we have been taking in a lot of consumer products that have parts just falling off the lead free boards that are assemb
