Not reflowing completely. Slower = hotter. Try a slower conveyor speed.

Hi, I believe you have classic gold imbrittlement here. With 80 microinches of gold you are way over the limit. You can try to reflow longer time and at a higher temperature. The gold does not melt into the solder joint. The gold dissolves into

We are trying to apply solder to boards with 80 microinches of electro plated hard gold. No components involved, just print 63/37 paste and reflow. The results are very poor on some boards, not so bad on others? Pictures at http://www.sipad.net/thick

OK, OK. 672 ball BGA. The pcbs are PC Card bus size and are .015 thick. There are 3 on a panel with about 1/2" between and rails. The aluminum plates are about 3" by 7". There are 3 cutouts which allow for the parts from either side to protrude du

That�s a 672 BALL BGA, bud!!! It�s a BIG Mutha!!! [I know. I know. For some reason suppliers call balls "pins".] Let�s focus on: * Clarifying the units on your PCB and aluminum plate thickness measurements. * Describing your use of the aluminum pl

Bruce I�m with yall. Designers and fabricators say �pins�. You say: * BGA pins are 1mm [0.039�] pitch. * BGA pads are 0.4mm [0.0157�] diameter. * BGA pins are 0.6 mm [0.024�] side-to-side. * Board thickness is ~0.4 mm [0.015�] First, as you can

Currently I am running a very dense PCBA using a PCB less than 20 mils thick. We have two facilities running this product. One is using Nitrogen during reflow one is not. What is the advantage and disadvantages of using Nitrogen during the reflow

Folks, I may be havign a thick day, it is Monday afterall and it has been very sunny over the weekend. We have recently started buildign a fairly high volume of products that is using intrusive reflow on two PTH DIN connectors and havign soem good s

We place these on a few boards and have no issues with reflow or warpage. How thick is your PCB?

So for your SMT1/SMT2/PTH boards, you have poor solderability during SMT2. [Even if you have no SMT2 and only ST1/PTH, our answer is the same.] We assume this occurs on one board part number only. We guess that your bare boards have insufficient gol
