could be black pad, or it is just bad reflow profile that did not get all balls soldered down. OR it could be a planarity issue between BGA and fab during assembly. Can we assume that this is proven design? Somewtimes in new design touching a BGA

Observations are: * Center most lead of the fuse on the top right of the assembly looks like it has excellent solder flow, but this is PTH. From the amount of solder, it must have been wave or hand soldered. * Center most lead of the fuse on the bot

Given that the LED work properly after being touched-up and that you don't have problems with other components, you may not be wetting the LED termination solderability protection during your normal reflow. Use a profiler to check the temperature on

Recently on one of my assemblies(sn/pb) I started seeing leaded BGA failure at functinal test for opens, but when I inspected them through 5DX and ERSA Scope it doesnt seem like there is any opens or insufficient and half no. of boards passed functio

Hi It's me again. Our products need to pass a chamber test 45c/36hrs after the PCBA completed batch of functional tests and assemble in to case. We found 1 unit was functioning for 24hours in the chamber, but hang after that. We tried to re-boot the

Hi Milan, One cause for such BGA failures could either be a laminate warp (bow or twist) formed during your Reflow or Wave soldering process, or perhaps a warp seen on the BGA component package itself prior to processing on SMT line. IPC guidelines f

I am a design engineer and have a circuit board design with a 292 pin BGA on it. The board manufacturer is experiencing a failure rate of about 2.8% on the BGA device due to soldering problems. This is my first experience with BGA. How does the 2.

hi, I am a Hardware designer . One of my products is undergoing a Reliability test in which a resistor shows a high value on board from its specified value .However it retains the original value when its cooled under room temperature. The resistor

Profile, profile, and profile. If you can sacrifice a board, the best is to drill a small hole into the a ball from the other side of the board and insert a thermocouple there. I'm 99.99% certain you won't be able to sacrifice a board. (who can the

Hi Bart, that�s much to high. If that would happen to me my boss would tear my head off. For improving the yields you must find the cause for the soldering problems. What are the symptoms? What could be the cause for the symptoms? Could be design pr
