Chuck, The smaller the pitch, the more package preferences will lean towards Trays. I would tape everything down to .025", maybe .020". With tape and reel you have fewer chances to place wrong polarity due to excessive part changes. Also part pick

It would help to see pictures, but I suspect the parts are seeing excessive strain when snapped into or removed from the pallet.

A small benchtop system uses a mask, tooled for your part, to arrange the solder spheres onto the BGA, after it has had the excess solder heat-vacuumed off and a new layer of flux applied. The spheres are poured into the cavity, excess decanted off.

A test that I would like to see is, expose parts for 24 hours 40%-60% RH, 25C for 24 hours. Then seal with a HIC and minimum desiccant that Jstd 33 requires. Five to seven days later open and see if HIC says good but parts have excess moisture. I t

At present the band-aid fix is using epoxy 'dam' under the part and masking over the part to pervent excessive current leakage conmonent failure. These parts are first going through the reflow oven, where the epoxy dam is used to over come the leakag

Perhaps neither. I assume the part is T&R. It's flipping inside the tape before placement. I don't know how the nozzle could be doing it. There could be excess vibration on the feeder which is causing the part to flip. Just a thought.

HiP most of the time goes back to the component package itself. If they are on the periphery of the part, it is a result excessive of expansion and contraction from the temperature. If it is in the middle, other contributors come in place.

Water soluble residues probably won't cause instant failures. The failures are most likely caused by excess paste being deposited on the center pad of the QFN. The excess solder keeps the part from sitting down in reflow and increases the possibility

Are there any photos available of what good HASL finish looks like as opposed to not desired? I'm looking for something to use as an aide in inspection becasue sometimes boards at our facility are received with HASL where the solder is excessive cau

I always prefer to not count parts, period. Generally, I don't have too many problems with customers with this method....I explain to them that the cost of my counting the parts (to them) is much more expensive than the cost of them supplying excess
