What is the best aperture opening for micrBGA with 0.8 mm ball pitch and 16 mils ball diameter?The pad size on the PCB is 12 mils.

Hi, Ok, thanks for the info, and I had not considered that factor. Is this an issue related to the reflow temperature change in the oven, or a temperature change in normal product use issue? I will check out the standard, and do you know where it's

Hi, Our paste release problems have been solved, and we worked on the stencil, and things are working well now. However this board was designed before we knew what was going on, and we thought a little more size on the pads would be a big help. Is

Hi, We have a BGA that uses .4mm diameter PCB pads on the BGA itself, however we have decided to use .5mm pads on the PCB, to help paste release from the stencil. Is this a bad thing, having different size pads on the PCB compared to the BGA itself

You shouldn't freak. You want the pads on both sides of the BGA ball the same so that the torgue from changes in dimension due to different CTE [ie, interposer, solder, bare board, etc.] is balanced on the top and the bottom of the ball. So, the ma

Sorry. I mistyped information on the guidelines. It should be: SM-785 - Guidelines For Accelerated Reliability Testing Of SM Solder Attachments Order SM-785 from: IPC 2215 Sanders Rd Northbrook, IL 60062-6135 847-509-9700 When you are ordering t

How do 0.5 mm pads on the board help paste release from the stencil? Paste release from the stencil is a function of: * Paste * Printer operation * Stencil design You have no obligation to made your stencil apertures the same size as the pads on yo

hi, the last post on pad cratering dates from 2012. We have (likely similar) problems with a RoHS 783 solder ball BGA size 29x29mm^2 (organic package BT), pitch is 1mm and solder ball diam is 0.5mm the field failure is after 12 months, almost exclu

sree, There is no Definite. You have to make the call. If you think the previous info was on target, use the info provided to find out the appropriate percentage relation between ball diameter, pad diameter, and aperture size. If you already run BGA,
