Hi Dback, Yes, i'm open "dog bone" aperture for my chip component. this is to prevent solder ball issue. For fine pitch i'm opening square with full length and half width to prevent bridging. Btw, if "dog bone" is not for chip component, what is your

Our next plan of attack is to dog-bone the solder aperature. By reducing the width of the solder paste at the heel, we hope to slow the flow up the leg of the pin while the temperature of the pad catches up. We have boards that were HASL ...

Ah ha! ... You hit upon something that I discovered earlier today ... As I said in an earlier post, I was going to experiment with dog-boning the solder paste ... But upon further review, I discovered that our customer removed 75% of the pad behind t

Shy, You mentioned that you are using "dog bone" apertures for your chip components? It doesn't make sense to me. I thought that the "dog bone" was used for fine pitch devices, to keep the solder away from the center and avoid bridging. It doesn't

| | | we encounter BGA soldering issue. there is always some dry joint or unclear defects after reflow and the board can't pass electrical test, but if we resoldering it through hot air gun, every thing is ok. we use the "dog bone" surface pad ,that

We here at Precision PCB Services, Inc. Perform selective ball removal. We just completed a job today where we removed 4 balls, and then installed traces to dog-bone the pads at two locations on 30 BGA's. An eaisier and more cost effective solutio

sphericity and consistency are important. egg shaped, dog-boned shape snd tear-drops work against you and promote clogging and in-effective "transfer efficiency". One of the most signifficant factors will be brand/type. Not all fluxes are created

Shy, Our 5 and 6 mils stencils have home plate apertures and reduced by 10% and using SMT adhesive. Never had a problem with components non wetting like you have. I do believe that you are not screening enough paste, something about the dog bone ape

BGAs are actually easy, but proper stencil design, solder paste placement and oven profiles are a must. Especially oven profiles as this is your only indication that the inner balls have reached proper temp, since you cannot visually tell. If you g

Russ We agree with your comments on plugging from one side only. But... We believe that it IS possible to trap process chemicals [technically, not flux] in a blind [or any other] via. This can be done by plating the via closed, rather than pluggi
