What is a typical SMT placement defect rate?

Electronics Forum | Thu Oct 02 15:34:08 EDT 2014 | arifa_anees

the data collected from a standard SMT process is typically very noisy due to the natural.Initially, the most common evaluation method was placement yield.Offset Placement After Solder Screen-printing can reduce or eliminate these defects through cor

Manually Adjusting Misplaced SMT Components

Hi All, On occasion we see components that have gone through pick and place and are slightly misaligned. Currently, operators manually adjust these misaligned components to prevent reflow failures. However, I am wondering if this readjustment may be

The component should float into place provided you have the correct amount of solder paste. Perform a solderability test on the pads. We have come across new components with oxidation that prevents wetting. This will cause components to not self ali

You may have answered your own question. If SSD is the end all save all there would be more people using this technology. I view SSD as an option to have flat planar pads. I also know the price per Board is more then "standard" boards. The sample b

BGA Vs. QFP

Electronics Forum | Thu Jun 29 08:41:24 EDT 2006 | russ

I agree that a BGA may be the better/easier process overall, but it is not 3 dollars per assy better, I am in agreement that you should be able to handle QFPS just as well as a BGA. PBfree BGAs do not self align BTW, so one needs to keep that in mi

Manually Adjusting Misplaced SMT Components

there can be so many different causes. can be component library height issues. step program z axis offsets - i have seen accidental positive values entered so the components are literally dropped onto the pcb haha. but it does depend on the size of

BGA placement accuracy

Electronics Forum | Wed Aug 22 10:57:59 EDT 2001 | wbu

Hi Steven, BGA�s are known for their ability to self align and from own experiance they do. There�s enough documentation on this one available (...don�t have the links present like Dave but I�m sure he will give you enough to spend some evenings rea

SMT RF shield Dewetting & Misalignment

Electronics Forum | Sat Jun 04 12:11:49 EDT 2011 | davef

Q1) How to identify on good or bad RF shield that could contribute to dewetting? A1) We use Alloy 770 and 752 [German silver] for our RF shields. We have never seen a solderability issue, even aged stock solders well. * Nickel Alloy 752, Nickel Silv

Stencil design (maybe old) question...

Electronics Forum | Thu Feb 05 02:34:05 EST 2009 | sachu_70

Hi Manuel, most passives are chip components. These tend to self-center/align during the reflow process. However, you need to ensure that there is a uniform balanced solder paste deposit. I had tried few such ovals in earlier stencil designs and resu

Re: uBGA

| I need the following information on uBGA's - body size, ball pitch and ball diameter. Are they a plastic package (with the resulting moisture sensitivity of a PBGA)? Also, does the uBGA put any special requirements on pick and place equipment? |
