What�s the problem? There area many heat related failure mechanisms in bare boards. You can damage boards with heat several ways. A couple favorites [Don�t try this at home. Perform on a closed track by professional solders only.] are: * Put a

We are currently experiencing thermal shock failure on a BGA package. We are currently looking at improvements to improve the thermal shock properties by using underfilm. I have seen some studies out there that use this process to improve drop test

Dennis: These "terminal detach failures" probably are caused by thermal shocking of the components. * Preheat the components * Use a hot air pencil rather than a soldering iron

We are considering retrofitting our Vectra wave soldering machine with a hot air knife. I've run our problem board on a machine with this option and it does seem to work; however, there is a concern of component failure due to thermal shock. Is thi

Suggest you ask vendor for a failure analysis. Ceramic chips have specific signatures for mechanical or thermal shock cracking. The vast majority of failures are due to mechanical flex. Depanelization and secondary operations such as hand insertion

AF: Unfortunately, there is no "acceptable number of cycles" either in air-to-air and one liquid-liquid thermocycling, nor interconnect stress testing. There can be a "minimum threshold" that would assure no failures as the result of the assembly p

We are down to the last few unresolved PCBA test failures in a work order and scrambling to get them repaired and into a mechanical assembly. What we have found in quite a few of these cases are cracked 1206 MLCCs. The failed parts are all the same

First, most �thermal shock� recipes are not a reliability test. There is no relationship between the failures seem in these tests and in-use application. These tests show you the failures in these tests. That�s it!!! Second, accelerated life test
