Thanks Dave and Glenn, I have setteled on Dye for the destuctive checks, and was thinking about impedence testing at intervals during ESS. Based on the research I have been doing the last several days, this seems like a method that should identify

Is there a standard that gives criteria for cracks in Ferrite Cores? I have reviewed Jstd-oo1 G and IPC 610 G and do not see a specific reference to Ferrites. Thanks for your help

Hello, we are facing some troubles with BGA opens in our production. PCB are both side popolated with BGA. BGA is array of 26*26, with some 6*6 center balls. PCB has 2 reflow processes, 4 pcs of BGA on each side. Now we are partly observing opens

FRank, are the BGA's in question a no-lead part? This usually results inthe paste flowing to make the electrical contact and not the ball, so I assume they could possibly crack easier than a leaded part. We have been receiveing almost all our BGA's

Looking for methods for detecting BGA microcracks without cross sectioning. Currently evaluating a new package and will be putting together a thermal stress eval. We would like to perform intermediate inspections for cracks. Once all cycles are don

...and, bake those parts. A lot of times, moisture will cause problems like you mentioned in the center of the part. (Old components will get this condition often)

We believe that neither xray nor SAM will provide satisfactory results and that sectioning throughout the process will provide conclusive information.

Dave, I agree totally, but dye-and-pry should also be part of the evaluation. Glenn Robertson Process Sciences Inc

Woody: Consider using test BGA with no chip in, but daisy chains that you can monitor. After soldering, run environmental tests and follow with electrical tests to determine if the product concept is good enough.
