Via in pad is the most efficient use of space. Blind via seems to be blamed for this. Cross-sections (send me some) will probably show a void still existing in the via or spherical voids aligned near the component pad side. One can estimate the vo

Don't be too sure that it is not your supplier! I have just gone through a similar problem and finally traced it back to PCB design which made the fab not very manufacturable except at a high end shop. What are the specifics of the board? 5mil trace

I place 15-20 mil a lot. You need to look at your pad to apature reduction. Your stencil thickness. The type of paste your using. We use 2-5 mil reduction on each side as a general rule on fine pitch. This varies depending on pad width. We also use 5

Hi Team, Please help in suggesting stencil aperture opening for the 0.4 mm pitch BGA. PAD Diameter is 0.24mm. we have 0201 components also in same board. We have HIP in this BGA. Solder paste : Alpha Om5300 ( PB+ solder paste ) type 4 We have tr

Thank you, Mr Dave. Specifically, there are tiny balls spreading on the boards ( on top of solder resists, and not encapsulated). They are not near to any land/pad or connector. I do not think they post any electrical problem. They are quite far away

3%) concentrations of gold form brittle intermetallic compounds with the tin in your solder. Electroless gold is applied with an autocatalytic process that self-limits around 5 mils thickness. You're correct electrolytic gold is used for goldfinger

Does anyone have any reliability data /concern on pressfit rework/repair - is there any qualified /characterized equipment /tools present in the industry? What kind of effect does it have on barrel plating quality (1.5mil avg.) after 1 time rework or

Dave, Thanks for the info! Yes, I have read the IBM document and realized that I was missinformed about the paste volume. I need 5000 to 5600 cubic mils of paste. Running the numbers I get a 32 mil aperture with a 7 mil step (the rest of the board

Aw Dave - you guys are so fashionable, are the dark green and red combos seasonal? caramel brown like a Pale Ale? I once heard that the green was chosen because it gives the best color contrast for white silk screens. As for color reflecting or abs
