Does anyone know of any standards that deal with the physical location of BGAs on a PCBA? I am looking for something that states to not put BGAs in the center Axis of assemblies for bow and twist reasons. We have always informed customers to locate

Hi, Did you use this paste before with out any problem or is it occuring for the first time ? If you wash only once a double sided board the side that passes through two reflow will have hardened flux which will may not be washed in your normal wa

Does anyone have an example of an electronics X-ray quality procedure? We are implementing a new X-ray machine and it is my responsibility to compose the quality procedure. I know that each state has it own set of regulations, I am just curious to se

Sorry, I forgot to include the stencil thickness. It is 5 mil. Thanks for the input, everbody. I just checked with our stencil supplier & I thought that Electro-polish was standard with lazer, but I now find out it is not. Our stencil did not get

I remember an issue that we had with some SMD AEC's in the not too distant past. They had a thermal barrier that our reflow oven surpassed, not allowing us to run them through reflow. We ended up having to hand solder them in place post reflow. We

Hi In addition to DaveyF, I probably have this, yet let me give you a few places fast and you will probably find what you want from his, mine or the linkages. If not write again either way. http://www.edtn.com/ http://www.techonline.com/ http://ww

MTBF is hard to nail down raw data based on whether or not it is classified as IPC CII or CIII alone. Given that most failures are environmentally based, you might be able to get this data for CII and CIII in similar environmental testing situations

Hi This is an excellent question or research project. I would call the IPC and find out if anyone has already done this work. My guess is that Class III should be slightly better, yet considering the application difference where Class III is used

MA/NY DDave, I'll take your money. I'm betting on the Class II, whatever that is, because: * Solder is the same. * Board is the same from a fabrication and probably materials standpoint. * Components are the same. * Processing is the same. ... but

Hi DaveyF, Thanks You see, you proved my point, with piles of more information than I gave. Based on Application rather than design and manufacturing specifications, a lower IPC class can out perform another. So our starting Poster must look at t
