Clearly the solder is flowing away in the via holes. Unless that solder is creating test failures, I don't understand how this is a problem if there are no components present. Regards, Tom

When we first got into BGAs on ENIG we were getting joint cracking at in-circuit test. The joints were breaking in the Sn-Ni intermetallic. We did a lot of pull testing while working with our board suppliers and our conclusion was that pull testing

Has anyone had experiences of ICT test fixtures actually damaging the PCB boards - typically when they have moved away from HASL finish to OSP. I would also like to hear more about any specific issues seen at ICT for non HASL pcb finishes thanks -

What about when debugging the board I recently saw a case where we damaged a board between - 5-10 cycles of the fixture It's a catch 22 - where you need high force probes to breal the OSP - but the copper is hard surface, not like the solder HASL a

OK I know it is funny to have two different PWB/PCB processes, one for pre production and one post production yet it is possible if controlled and implemented in a strategy. In debug if your company's experience has been for a repeated need to do IC

Hello! 1) You can try to use solderbility tester (https://www.gen3systems.com/solderability-testing-must). 2) You can try to find more agressive solder paste. Some time ago we had the same problem. We gave some samples to our friends from another co

anyone experience to solve the non-wetting on Microleadframe packages component terminal sides. 1)I test the components solderbility in dip and look test, in solder pot at 240 deg C,the wetting on the sides is ok. but I run on mass production in refl

Thanks Real Chunks and Davef...Yours input is valuable to me. My inputs towards your question asked below: Questions are: * Why did you tell us the following? "This BGA is installed with heatsink (with hook at both side of the heat sink) manually b

What kind of changes could be expected by changing from a HASL finish to gold? We have a board the had been being coated with HASL but was changed to gold to make priting easier. Now, even though the soldering looks fine, we are getting fallouts at G

We are incurring problems with Film Chip Capacitors with reflow issues. Some of the parts are misaligning or not soldering on one end (almost tombstoning) . We left the parts in the dry cabinet till they were used. We tried both reflow ovens (hell
