1) why is No-clean (NC) the preferred process, for BGA mounting by SMT? Probably the same reason NC is the preferred process for mounting non-area array SMT components. 2) why is water-soluble (WS) not a hot choice? There�s not reason not to use

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t

| Hello | I am looking for help in determining a simple (software based) method for testing the continuity of individual pins on an SRAM devices packaged in BGA. Can you help, or do you know someone who can help? Or do you know of an internet resouce

The biggest problem I am having is the X-Ray and ICT could not detect this shorts.ICT could not detect because onboard measurement shows Zero even without the Hair line shorts.With Hairline there is no difference in the impedance value for ICT to fai

In production,we are seeing high defect for Hair Line Solder Shorts for PTH connector and the Hair Line is too tiny that X-Ray and ICT could not detect.Any suggestion on how we can resolve or at least detect this upfront.

What side is the short occuring on. Topside or bottom (solder) side? 2. Pitch of hole pattern = ? 3. Your x-ray may not have the resolution or DSP capable of detecting this defect. How does your profile look? Is this a true short or the result

Agilent has a great article on determining whether automated optical inspection (AOI) or automated x-ray inspection (AXI) is right for you. It's a PDF file that can found here: http://www.ate.agilent.com/EMT/LIBRARY/X-RAY/DOCS/59883661en.pdf To sum

What is the surface finish of the PCB? Tin? Imersion Silver? What flux is used in wave solder and / or SMT? I have much experience with silver migration and tin wiskers. Both can disappear during a reqork cycle. Both can be extremely difficult

What about electo migration? I had (what apears to be) the exact same problem you describe. X-ray and ICT fails to detect micro shorts. However, in our test, the bench functional test would show a current overload. In some cases the electro migrti

| We are experiencing shorting on a BGA. The part has a 1mm pitch with a 196 I/O count. The problem seems to pop up without warning & disappear in the same manner. | Our pad design is .020" diameter pads with .025" solder resist diameter. The ce
