Mike, dude, I feel your pain. Hearing stories like this makes my blood boil! It's almost as ridiculous as a customer who told me to put more solder paste on a MELF component to overcome noise issues - he used more solder paste as antennas to overco

Is that accurate? If so, what are your aspect & area ratios? [Similar to the JerryS comment above.] * You say, � � and the average height is very high: nearly 200 pct.� => Our troop can make paste that height too. They snap the stencil-off a fast as

Even with PbSn solderpaste the leadfree BGA's have a superior resistance to solder-joint fatigue failure when compared to conventional parts. [Solder Fatigue Reliability Issues in Lead Free BGA Packages, Pedro Chalco of IBM, Pan Pacific Microelectron

We don't have a gap between the lead and the pad after a SM joint is soldered. On our boards, this space is filled with the solder intended to attach the component to the board. How high do components sit above the surface of a board? Most people a

Maybe ask your customer where they got this idea from? It is possible they may have even got this idea from some white paper or article where they are trying to explain something else and show drawings with no solder between the pad and lead. It may

Hi All, I�ve been doing some research on the issue of running lead-free solder paste and leaded solder paste through reflow at the same time. The point with this would be to process all standard leaded components with Lead paste while also processi

I'm trying to find information/articles describing the effects of temp and humidity on solder paste. Just recently we have gone through a change outside temperature and humdidty and have notice solderabilty problems with smt boards.

Hi, I just need to undestand any issue? If I mount Pb free BGA and use normal SN/Pb solder paste?

I guess my biggest concern would be what will happen to the inner metallic layer of the leaded solder during the higher temperatures.

Mike did you have these SEM'd to be able to see the IMC's within the solder joint?
