| We have successfully put .016" vias in .030" pads. | There is no issue with .030" solder balls, since | the actual volume of the .002" via in pad is small | compared to the ball+solder paste volume. | We did notice random bubbles where, apparentl

I ran some test samples with a water soluble past (Amatech ws488). I also tried hand soldering using an Alpha ws375 wave soldering flux and some old fashioned RMA. The results are pretty much the same. Some of the joints look a better that others b

The voids are between the interface of the pad and the solder joint of component chips. I have a good thermal profile and this problem occured only on certain product so since we have some common components, component termination contamination is no

Hi DaveF, To explain. The BGA that we have is from Motorola. The solder balls of these BGA's are Eutectic Solder and processed using a NC flux (as per info from supplier). So this means that the BGA pad and solder connections had NC flux process. W

As far as solder paste goes search no further! I have worked for some huge CM's as a Process Engineer and a lot of them have put thousands of hours of Engineering time and evaluation just to come up with the same answer every time. For no-clean it is

Davef, You have a good question. If we had perfect design engineers out there that would use the proper component spacing and not put SMT parts between and around thru-hole parts - glue and wave would work perfectly. I have done this with great su

I like AIM solder paste, personally. But, much like asking which pick and place machine is best on this board, you're likely to get as many opinions as there are paste manufacturers. I just took a look at Alpha's datasheet for this product, and it

| Scott, | I am not really in a position to answer this as fully as I would like because most military work with which I am familiar is subject to some degree of secrecy most especially on the internet. At least we have signed up to such restrictions

| We currently use an ESP RMA paste. The reason that I initially posted the question was because we are conducting tests to see if this is infact the best paste for our processes. In running tests, however, certain variables, such as humidity, are
