hi Steve/Pete, Thank for your email to affirming our current mounting and soldering flow! In fact, I also don't see any problem for the pilot run(though in small volume - 500pcs). However, the problem is - I am challenged by my customer that the AI

| Having implemented the process of handling moisture sensitive devices our logistics department tries to classify all parts according to their moisture level. | Going through datasheets wasn�t that helpfull, so does anyone know of a source for that

A couple of other potential issues are moisture/reflow related issues. This can include internal delaminations inside the component, potentially breaking or lifting the wirebonds. It may also induce warpage where the corners of the BGA will curl up.

Warpage typically (not always) kinda, sorta points to a fabrication bake induced issue that is the racking technique & may be relieved by "flat baking" under weight. Your baking at 125* won't do dip. You need to get the laminate temperature above it'

Yes, moisture entrapment causes solder shorts 80% of the time. Cracks occur bottom side of the BGA. Use an acoustic microscope to find the cracks. So, what makes you think your BGA are blowing-off steam? I posted a vid on SMTnet that showed the b

Lets get to the simple things. Wave or Reflow? Wave soldered parts have a higher susceptibility to physical damage until they are waved. That�s were I normally see this type of break. Usually, the crack is a circular pattern in the cap if it�s fr

Has anyone ever looked into the possibility for laser marking 1812 size X7R ceramic chip capacitors injecting sufficient energy to cause cracking when voltage is applied? If so, what were the findings? We are having failures of caps from one manufa

Thermal profiling typically requires a profiling kit, this will include a thermally insulated datalogger that follows your PCB through the oven connected to a number of thermocouples which you might affix to your PCB using heat resistant tape or usin

I'm requesting assistance in developing detection and containment methods for an issue with an SMD ceramic resonator (Murata CSTCE-G-A family). The returns have external visual cracks that originate at the termination and run at approximately a 45 d

In December and January (1997 & 1998) a number of people requested information regarding component cracking. I overlooked this until recently thinking design and process requirements were violated. After reviewing the last 14 months consulting effort
