We are encountering BGA solder open connection. At Functional Test, the board failed. Debug guy diagnosed this BGA open connection (2 locations), by using multimeter. Under 5DX inspection, there is connection. Take the board for localised reflow at

What is the surface finish of the PCB? What type of BGA? What type of solder / flux are you using?

Using a meter to check a BGA connection to the board, there will be other parts of the circuit involved. Sounds like a bad batch of parts.

Could someone shares their experience on the causes of 'Open' in the BGA after reflow.

Intermetalic Layer (IL). A compound formed at the interface of two different metals, whose atoms have an extremely high natural attraction for each other, so high, that they do not bond to other elements by any other means. Also, intermetalic compo

>>>>Dave, The BGA substrate surface finish is NiAu, while the PCBA pad surface is HASL. The solder ball composition is SnPb 63/37 and the solder paste used on the PCBA is also the same but with 2% Silver.>>> Dave, sorry I don't have the picture with

Cheers to you Your gold plating is specified for the gold wire bonding between the die of your BGA and the pads on the BGA substrate. For solderable surfaces this is heavy on gold for use on pads. Gold SB thinner on pads to limit the amount of gol

We find that the raw BGA's pad sheared surface has the SnPb solder at various Z heights whereas the assembled BGAs pad leave a smooth layer of SnPb along the pad. Like to understand the cause for the difference. Who could guess? Solder joint streng

Hi, I encountered a problem with pbga. One edge either warp downwards or upwards creating bridging or open. This pbga have fr4 at the bottom (compound molding at the top). The fr4 is bigger than the top compound by 3mm at each edge. Pls help. Than
