| I saw the problem of void in solder bump or in lead less component or some BGA. But I didn't have standard specification of that void is accept or reject? Do any body have the better idea or suggestion of the criteria ? | | Thank you, | Wirat

We did this for BGA pads, but have not thought about other types. So, this may or may not apply for those. Pad defined by:||Advantages||Disadvantages Non-solder mask||No point-of-stress concentration at edge mask and solder ball||Smaller pads have

Charlie: I'm with Wolfgang ... The prime cause of your cracked solder joint on a surface mount part is mechanical stress. That�s about as specific as you�re gonna get. More information would be helpful. For instance: * Talk about the distribution

Hi Charly, short question, short answer: excessive mechanical influence often in combination with bad solderjoint itself. For bad solderjoints there are many many reasons, process and material related. Are there any special circumstances that made y

We recently have received a lot of warped (bowed and/or twisted behond IPC 600 specs.) bare boards (some our fabricator's fault, some ours by design) and I can't help but figure that long term reliability will suffer when building product with them.

Hey, Preacher, choir here. Unfortunately I didn't get to make the call here (hot boards, new product, same ol' same ol'), but I dam* well am looking for future (print) backup to assist in persuading the bottom line guys that it's cheaper to wait for

DON'T do it!!! The two problems you'll have are: 1 Poor manufacturing process control, resulting in weak solder connections. 2 Weak solder connections are stressed, when the board is straightened upon installation in the "box". There's several hits

i just find the gap inside the component from the cross-section, it indeed exists the interal crack, not solder joint crack. but why the failed capacitor is well after some time. and the other suspicion is the quality of the component.

Dang!!!! ;P Hey, wait a minute!!! The BIG DOGS believe "it's a service, not a problem". Are you saying that they think that you're fortunate to get parts falling off of the boards? So there cracks are part of the value added? Whee!!
