Dears, I've a board with OSP surface finish,and I planned to print solder paste on the test pad for easy ICT, because the probe can't reach the OSP covered pad.But to my surprise,after reflow there's much flux residue on top of test pad(or solder) an

Well, another alternative is to use a water washable flux. If you insist on staying with a NC flux, use one that is probable. We prefer to probe solder, rather than copper.

Use Water soluble if you can, if not I would try the Indium SMQ NC paste, this residue stays soft. I would also change ICT probes to the "drill type". Russ

use water soluble solder paste is the cure for your problem. but if you insist of using NC change your pogo pins to pointed pins.

Hi, There are "Fluxbuster" or "Rotator" pins on the market - we had to use them a few years ago on a flexy board (with OSP). There is some info from one source at the following link: http://www.isiconnectors.com/mfrs/idi/idipr.htm#Rotator We got

First, I don�t understand why your board fabricator can�t do a good job plugging your vias. Additionally, when you consider that they forgot to plug the first batch of boards, it makes me wonder if they are desirable as a supplier. Generally, we us

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

First, any results of pull or shear tests are unscientific at best. [We pop our BGA from boards with, appropriately enough, a beverage can opener.] Second, we have no have problems with your ENIG specification. Third, as with your customer, we'd e
