In creating your solder balls, consider printing or dispensing solder paste on the pads of the LGA and then reflowing the paste.

Hi mates, was going thru the IPC-A-610C Standards, and noted BGA voids stands somewhere between 10%-25% voids permissible in the solder "ball" bump, after reflow process. Was wondering, hypothetical case study, is there any specification for voids

janchan, don't know how many LGA's/LCC/BCC's you are placing but a short term solution that I can recommend is the application of solder bumps to the component and than place it after board has gone through reflow or even at the same time. Our compa

Hi We are running automatic stencil printers, open squeegees, stainless stencil, stainless blades, print speed 25-30mm/sec. We have a frustrating consistency issue printing .37x.3mm apertures on a 45pin LGA (11 pads each side, 1 large ground in mid

Darby National published stencil recommendations for their LGA in the "SMT Assembly Recommendations" section of: http://www.national.com/an/AN/AN-1187.pdf Is it possible that Silicon Laboratories published a similar document for your Cygnal CP2101?

Hi mates, have this SMT production issue : A) We have a leadless-chip-carrier(LCC) IC package that is classified under the Land-Grid-Array(LGA) package family. B) The LCC is 4mm x 4mm, and has 28 tin plated pads located beneath the outside perimet

When we have sent some of motherboards for reliability testing in a tird party laoratory. It is found that when Dye&Pry is done after 600 cycles of Thermal Cycling, in LGA socket only one of the corner solder joing had 100% type 3 crack. All other so

Just to add to my comments,solder joint voids do occur in LGA. Voids in LGA can be larger due to geometry and greater ratio of flux to solder. IPC-A-610D specifies a greater than 25% voided area is a defect for BGA, however, it does not specify the d

We don't know dip about your Linear Tech LGA118, but we agree with published reports that say you should have between 4800 and 7000 thou^3 of paste on the pad for a LGA. These volumes were analyzed based on volumes found successful for CGA and then e

Good. This is the right way to profile. Let me ask you, have you anytime soldered QFN componets on your boards? The concept of LGA soldering is similar to that used for a QFN package. QFN soldering also exhibits void formations, and is an inherent pr
