Dye penetrant is a liguid that will wick through very small cracks. I used over 10 years ago for checking cracks in glass feedthru's in hermetic packages. You put the dye on one side of the seal and developer (white) on the other side and the red dye

Hi All, One PCBA failed test after went through the Shock Test(Vibration) and suspected to be BGA solder ball crack. We performed dye and pry and found PCB's pad lifted with red mark ink penetrate pad underneath, what does this mean? Can I say the

You can say: The pad was lifted after reflow and prior to the dye and pry failure analysis. When we see lifted pads, we think: * That's a good solder connection * Either it took a lot of force to lift that pad or the fabrication of the board in the

It's used for BGA 'disassembly'. Look here http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=32271

All, What if BGA solder crack do exist after the shock test? Its happen at the corner of the BGA. Base on your experience, what are the potential root causes? Thanks, Sean

Hi All, Besides the above question, I have another one as below: (1) How frequent that we need to perform strain gauge study on ICT, Functional test fixture? Is it a necessary to perform this study each time after ICT, Funtional test fixture preve

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

Hi manchella, After ATC test, two different failure modes can be present: solder FATIGUE (into bulk) or BRITTLE INTERMETALLIC fracture. So, first you have to verify this. Moreover, which brand of SMT paste have you used ? The crack into solder joint

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,

In my opinion destructive methods went out with the stone age. At least they did at our company. We specialize in non-destructive defect analysis. We can determine where the failure is i.e. assembly process, fab defect, BGA defect or plating proce
