Experiencing a problem with a 208 PBGA device. I am achieving good wetting with the exception of one ( damn) pin on the outer corner.I have a really good profile but the worrying thing is that it is so inconsistant. Once this open pin failure is dete

Sal, This is a common problem experienced by several OEM's. It all comes down to heat. This is why the problem is corrected on your repair unit. I would suggest using a Slim Kic or Data Pac (mole) to thermal couple the IC prior to the reflow oven.

Without further information my first guess would be lack of flux to "cut through" the ENTEK layer. Question: In X-ray is the suspect ball of equal diameter when compared to adjacent balls? If no then the volume of solder is different which would po

Dear All, Can you advice on how to use X-Ray system to identify the QFP/PLCC pin open application. Whether at all X-Ray can be used for the above application. If so, what will be the false rejection of the X-Ray system. Regards Sankara narayanan ME

hello, BGA was a little excessively reflowed with dwell time(above 183C - solder paste = 63/37) over 2 min, peak temp is 218C. I inspected the BGA under X-ray and there is a little voids but within the acceptable range, i then used the Ersascope to c

Hi Evtimov, Thanks again! The solder wicking/open solder joint is not actually gross rejection, it is only a few and appeared random (difficult to trend the location of the opens), what is perflexing is that i have this 1 or 2 open solder joints sur

Avillaro, would you say that vapor phase process was selected, because the boards are so thick and heavy? I would assume so. Have you ever tried to run them through reflow oven? To understand better your challenge, we need to understand the setup be

Hi Phil, thanks. I am successful using the same connector on small thinner boards 2-2.5kg) i cant make it work, tried all kinds of profiles with vapour phase but to no avail. Yes you read it right 4.3-6.3mm pcb thickness and 2-2.5Kg. And it is 44 lay

Hi, I need help on how to address the solder wicking on the samtec searay connector after reflow resulting to open solder joints on thick and thermal heavy PCB (4.4mm and 6.3mm). I increased my solder paste thickness to 8 mils, the connector is manua

here is well explained SMEMA interface http://www.daghee.com/?p=326 so, disconnect printer from upline modules and check are any 2 of 4 pins shortened(should be pins No 1 & 2) while machine is ready state. when machine is in busy state the same pin
