Hi Folks, Hope yous can help. I'm having a problem when reworking (placing) 40mil BGAs. One side seems to be collapsing more so that the other, resulting in the outer row of balls not properly reflowing and making the connection. This is only happeni

We have been looking into some sort of higher level inspection system as well. But we have been fairly well convinced that X-Ray is far better than AOI. X-Ray is not only good for BGA's, it is also good for any solder related problems. AOI can onl

On 1.27mm (0.050 inches) Standard Ball Grid Array's. The ball size diameter starts at approximately 0.025 inches. If the ball size decreases to 0.012 inches (due to the solder flowing down a via) is the solder connection reliable? This is a known L

Hello, I had recently a problem of crack between the solder ball (SnPb) and the Ni layer of the PCB pad. We use Electroless Ni/Au technology for PCB. This phenomena is amazing because the crack is very clean (straight) and it creates a space betwee

OK, so is anyone qualifying CGA's yet? Our first batch of CGA qualification is not going too well. We stuck with the teardrop shaped pad but the solder fillet is not as big as expected. What size pads is anyone using, i'm getting conflicting informat

if you look at the J-STD-033B, you will see that such a large PQFP could stay even longer the 24h at 125�C even if internally is already totally dry. It could be, the balls can get oxided and also IMC (Inter metallic compounds) could grow avery littl

Thank you for the links. I didn't know that there are companys that build test systems for ultrasonic inspection. My idea was to use a ultrasonic detector similar to crack inspection, for example to detect if the cooling pad is melted, or a solder jo

Hello, these pads look so clean.....I am not sure you had a good solder connection there. I would check the following. 1. Is the part RoHS in a lead process 2. X -ray boards after reflow(I assume you will see head in pillow) 3. Check for board con

| At Sanders (Military manufacturer), we have only started using plastic parts within the past few years. After being tasked with reviewing the new J-Std-033, it became obvious to me our process for controlling device exposure is weak. We build very

Hello, I have been having some troubling issues when it has come to BGA Placement and I was hoping if there have been others who have been able to resolve similar issues. We are curently doing reworks on a variety of BGA, but seem to be having issu
