Good points, John. Continuing to track on the voiding issue, why remove voids anyhow? * Voids are primarily process indicators. There is experimental evidence that voids retard crack propagation locally around the void on at least on a temporary bas

What is Your customers requirements? Is the PCBA mounted with front/back connectors? Will the PCBA be mounded in a rack and connected to opposite connectors on the other side? In this case, if the warpage is more than approx 1-1.5 % You will then n

hi all...well i`m working in such a lab but we are working internally, and for our customers. But i can give you some prices from other labs. Cross section-one location is around: Solder Joint Integrity Std. sample plastic package $300.00 Shorts /

Thick, hard conformal coatings of acrylic, urethane and epoxy have a well documented history of causing solder joint cracks and breaking glass/ceramic and other brittle components. Dissimilar expansion and fairly high surface bond strengths of the ma

I would recommend looking at SAKI/MacroScience. http://www.xraytechnology.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=42 I have seen the images created by MSX3000 from MacroScience which is now under SAKI and can tell you with certainty

Hi, We are PCBA production company which factory's located in Vietnam. Somtime, we have to analyse failure of product to find out the root cause (ex: Micro-crack of solder joint under BGA IC...). We are searching labs around Asia (Vietnam, Malaysia,

Mike, Thanks for the reply. It's not really a matter of slope. It is the long term thermomechanical fatigue that the solder joint undergoes as a result of repeated severe temperature swings, while the product is in use. Non-leaded parts are suscep

Has anyone heard of vias cracking (barrel from pad) when being wave soldered. Was told this was a big problem by contract pcb designer, he always tent vias because of this. The reason was that the solder filling the vias caused stressing and then sep

Hello! We are having field failures due to cracking of the solder on our SMD micro switch components. I have been reading the IPC standards, and the only thing that it states regarding the solder profile/amount for Gull Wing component is "wetted fill

You "guys" crack me up. OK, how about bottles of tequila?
