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

you gotta ask WHY? thankfully dont place these but I wud imagine you have referenced the datasheet for solder thickness etc. How is your placement? You say ypu place 17 of these? are you seeing shorts on all of them or a select few? aj

Help! We are havin issues installing the new Linear Tech LGA118's. We are installing 17 of these beast per assembly, the problem shorting? Any ideas? Linear Tech is usless, they blame heat, not a big enough reflow oven, moisture, part disty's...e

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

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

Yeah, those gosh darn disty parts...get you every time. lol Can we get just a little more info? Let's start with the basics... Stencil Thickness? Aperture Reduction? Leaded or Lead-Free? No-Clean or Water Soluble? How's your reflow? Have you prof

Good Morning, I have been struggling with this part for some time now. I have to agree that whoever designed this part, did not have to manufacture with it. We have advanced to a point where they have a acceptable yield but I believe that will be hi

I doubt that your problem is driven primarily by irregularities in your circuit board. My bet is that you’re seeing defects caused primarily by the warpage in your LGA. Consider using advice often given for minimizing warpage caused defects in BGA

We drilled a hole in the centre of the LGA and put the thermocouple inside, so we measure the exact temperature between PCB and device.

I am working on soldering an Large LGA module to a PCB and am having some issues with opens due to variation in the board flatness. I have tried adding more paste but get shorts and excess flux as I get above a 7 mil stencil. I have tried adding sol
