During temperature cycling we have determined that the conformal coating wicking underneath our BGAs has caused fractures in our solder balls. One proposed solution is to run an RTV dam around the parameter of the BGA to prevent the CC from wicking u

In general, if the process has been consistent for a period of time, then one should look at any new variables in the process. Therefore...the supposition that there's a bad lot of components is a very good one. Did Yageo offer any possible explana

What type of conformal coating are you using and are you allowing the coating to migrate under the device in question? If you are allowing the coating unbder the BGA the problem could be CTE of coating is much greater than that of the BGA balls/sold

For the capacitors that Yageo analyzed... Were they taken out at representative points in the process?? ie. were samples taken from pre-assembly, pre-ICT, post-conformal coat, post-final test? You note that the parts 'seem' to be ok up to ICT. And

Profile should have a longer cool soak. Verify as was mentioned all pin/fixture support through out the entire process. Print, Place, pre reflow hand load, post reflow, carriers, ICT, Depanel and FCT. Conformal Coated or Potted? Mylars work well for

| We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a reco
