Our conformal coat area has recently requested changes to our bare board houses to perform a pumice scrub operation on the PWB prior to HASL plating and delivery to us. Our first lot received caused us to have void faults under multiple component ty

we can test the defects with multimeter after reflow ,before ICT.and if we replace this damaged parts with good ones.everthing is ok.I'm sure this part is damaged during reflow,but why not other 19 same parts of the 20 on each board?we attach a therm

The LF pastes will have virtually NO wetting spread. This is normal. LF mobilities are virtually non-existant with SAC alloys. However, the addition of varrying amounts of silver can (and does) improve mobility but, this comes with a price (paste

At the wave, you should collect data on the critical process parameters. The cliche being, it's better to control your process via SPC versus performing SPC on defect data. Perform a DoE to determine which variable interactions have the greatest eff

I have to disagree with you, BillyD. If Craig searches the forum, he will see that the concept of a Pbfree BGA with SnPb paste has been debated many times. You say it is fine. I say it is NOT. There have been several studies done that clearly sho

Hi Muse, what do you mean by "with a SAC Ball and SnPb Paste the ball liquifies at a much higher heat"? Actually depending upon the ratio of solder contributed by the pad (SnPb) to the ratio of the SAC solder contributed by the BGA Ball, the SAC sold

Does replacing the BGA fix the problem? To be a little more blunt, is the BGA or is it the tech says it's the BGA. Beleive none of what you hear and only half of what you see. What kind of BGA is it? If it is one of those BGA's with a built in heats

I�ve been lurking on the forum for a while so I will take a stab at this, mainly because there is no answer I take it that you have a variety of boards being produced at the same time and are in fixtures so the conveyors don�t need to be adjusted, a

It sounds as if this Sn100c HASL process is still in its infancy requiring further process development and characterization..weather its a better more active flux or a different profile... Given your situation of the Sn100c coating actually "repellin

I still think the best bet is probably an SMT pre-bake operation to ensure that there is no moisture in the board. Vapor pressure is usually the leading cause for delamination, so removing the source should significantly help out. Unfortuantely, pr
