All that they are telling is important (variants in the process), what you can do in a fast way is: change the component for a new one (date of manufacture / other supply - if you have); change the component (test - same package but other specificati

I dont know about analysis on boards it is OK as long as the people carrying it out know how to interogate the answers.I worked on a problem just last week where an analysis house in China tested the resist then the pads and found on both surfaces C

No, we didn't do the test you mentioned, but did EDS on the joints and didn't see carbon their (which would indicate the presence of any organic-based contaminant). For the customer the issue was closed and passed to the board shop. We did work with

Yes why did the Electroless Nickel layer split this is the ROOT cause. My guess is still that the resist was slightly miss registered over the copper and therefore poor adhesion of the Nickel ensued OR like I said originally the resist had contaminat

Hi Forum. Is there anyone who can tell if an empty PCB with no SMD components mounted and HAL surface will get a less solderability after been running through reflow (convection). Eg. when testing empty PCB with temperture data logger. Regards Ole

Hi manchella, After ATC test, two different failure modes can be present: solder FATIGUE (into bulk) or BRITTLE INTERMETALLIC fracture. So, first you have to verify this. Moreover, which brand of SMT paste have you used ? The crack into solder joint

When we have sent some of motherboards for reliability testing in a tird party laoratory. It is found that when Dye&Pry is done after 600 cycles of Thermal Cycling, in LGA socket only one of the corner solder joing had 100% type 3 crack. All other so

Sam says, �The only question remaining to me is that why the failure happened after 48 hours instead of immediate failure after soldering.� Let�s recap: * Had good-looking solder flow. * Passed the initial electrical test. * Failed the later electri
