HI, I'm doing a dye penetrant and peel test of non-function BGA solder joints to locate the fracture surface. After applying dye, I found the dye ink just accumulate at the solder mask edge and spread everywhere after I peeled off the package. THis i

There are lots of voids at solder joint of chips,the thickness of multilayer pcb is 3.2mm,top side have lots of chip component and bottom side has several BGA and QFPs.For top side profile,the preheat time is about 100s,soak time is about 75s,time ov

Your broad question will bring many answers.You do not mention PCB type which plays a key part in the inspection specs you look for. Your question is like asking "What is the best automobile?" You will have 1,000,000 answers. Best answered this way:

Ray, I don't know for sure what exact data Ceeris used to come up with their figures. Did they account for shipping? Was the rework done by expensive equipment? When I read your thre

Dear all, Recently our customer complaint that some components being came off from the pcba after dropping test.But the curious is, the leads show visible solder fillet covering more than 75% of termination area on pad, which is acceptable as per IP

Customer returned a brd claim that one of the FPGA is having "cold solder joint". I inspected the the BGA location with X-ray and Ersascope, balls' shape look fine, voids are not detected, perimeter joints show shinny and smooth appearance, i have se

How did you come to the conclusion that you are having a cold joint problem. Just by appearance ? As Dave stated if you have any of the metals that he listed in the joints they will appear to be dull and grainy sometimes. But... Dave, I will have t

if opens in same aria check for mask to via coverage for that pad. We had vias pulling solder from pad. We did not have totally opens but capalry from via was as strong as capalry to ball / pad creating small joint aria.

GS, What should be the temperature we should get down to? Is it room temperature? Then it could be quite a long time. Eutectic solders cool down below 183C and may be cooling to 100C should do good? What do you think?

Once you verified for correct profile ( consider CTE mismatch) make sure before you remove PBA from fixture, the temperature is almost at room temperature. If by removing PBA from fixture,and the PBA gets a little bent (warped) just in the area where
