Yes we do place "big and heavy" SMT DC/DC:s on most of our board's. Please tell us what brand it is or at least what the package look like?!? For instance we place a different numbers of "heavy" DC/DC converters (40x20mm & 45x25mm) that has the pick-

Would be glad to offer some assistance, but I've got a couple of questions first: 1) What type of supplemental flux are you using? (If any) 2) Is your problem consistent across all assemblers, or can you trace the assemblies with solder ball issues b

I have an assembly that uses several different BGA packages. During troubleshooting we have found that some of the balls in the corners of the BGA's are separated from the underside of the package. The PWA is approx 10�x10� and the components vary fr

On 1.27mm (0.050 inches) Standard Ball Grid Array's. The ball size diameter starts at approximately 0.025 inches. If the ball size decreases to 0.012 inches (due to the solder flowing down a via) is the solder connection reliable? This is a known L

Dear Masdi, Solder beading (as opposed to solder balls) is usually caused by volume of solder paste, displacement of solder paste when component is placed and sometimes the proximity of the solder depositions for that component. Basically, a small a

Hi, Another option we have used here in house is to remove the unwanted BGA balls with solder wick, and then to manually place them on the PCB foot print. This eliminates the pick and place machine's optical centering freaking out because the balls

Please check Circuit Assembly March 1998, article "Solder balls and aperture shapes" and August 1999 "Guiding stencil design". They can be contacted at www.circuitassembly.com The main cause of mid chip solder balls is the volume of paste that is p

Where blank are the balls on a BGA supposed be? UNDERNEITH, dammit!!! Fire that inspector. It's good that you have your balls imbedded in something, so that they are not rolling around. Beyond that, consider the five ball system! - No more than
