Most Test Technicians, Managers, and everyone else in the organization always believe that the BGA is the #1, and most likely failure mode in a circuit. You can analyze it with all the tools available...2D, 3D, 10D, underneath, etc...... convince th

I have been trying to rework a lead-free BGA. For some reason, when I remove the BGA the corner pads on the board come off and the board must be scrapped. If I do manage to remove the BGA successfully, when I solder the BGA, the corners of the BGA

I would suspect if you had a full evaluation done there would be the same issue with Nickel oxidation everywhere. The reason BGA's fall off (or have solder connection issues first) is due to their size. A slight flex in the board has a much larger im

Hi Chrissie, BGA Rework from one CM's view: 10% process problem (printing, reflow, voids, etc) 10% component failure (no other problem found) 80% "The board does not work therefore it must be the BGA" This, of course, is exaggerated. My point bein

Hi, I am process engineer of SMT production. We have some strange problemn with tantalum capacitors. 1 case: If tantalum capacitor placed near BGA and one of his legs is connected to one of the BGA balls, after reflow we can see short between two or

1 When you peel the solder connection of a BGA, * If solder remains on the soldered surface [eg, component, substrate, etc], it's good. * If some solder remains and some base metal is present, it's marginal. * If no solder remains, it's NG. 2 Try I

Interesting!. They don't look like voids as usual meanings. The "voids" take the whole size of pads. We built millions of BGA, never seen those before. Look like the pads refused to connect with solder paste and pushed the paste away. Pads contaminat

Hi DaveF, To explain. The BGA that we have is from Motorola. The solder balls of these BGA's are Eutectic Solder and processed using a NC flux (as per info from supplier). So this means that the BGA pad and solder connections had NC flux process. W

Put on your thinking caps for this one......We are trying to remove a BGA (10 x 10mm, plastic, 0.8mm pitch) which is approx 3 mm next to another BGA (5 x 5mm, plastic, 0.8mm pitch). The challenge is this second device is underfilled with a softening

1 CAN WAVE SOLDER AFFECT OR DAMAGE BGA? Sure. Since you are vague, assuming: * Partially assembled board was not stored to prevent moisture absorption. * BGA is in a plastic package. * Partially assembled board was stored long enough to exceed th
