Hi Shriram, Are you saying that there is a trace running between the pads for this 0603 capacitor? If so, this design may be causing a gasketing issue between the stencil and the PCB. The uneven height prevents the stencil from sitting flat on the PC

Hi guys, Problem: Mid chip solder balling. Component affected: 0603 caps only Defect is PCB specific (Meaning only one PCB is affected as the aperture is standard for that component). As a containment I'll give a home plate design for the compo

Don't think there's any easy way to clean under a LCC, but you might want to consider this: http://www.winslowautomation.com/ccmd.asp A dead simple way to mount solder columns onto LCC's and then solder the part to the PCB with a stand-off of abou

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I run 2 boards, using the same paste, thermal profile and the same method of aqueous cleaning, 1st is a Topline test board with topline BGA (BGA 272 with 1.27 Pitch) and the 2nd is our product PCB with our BGA from Motoro

Hi Shean, Thanks for the analysis. "Your product looks like it may have non-solder-mask-defined pads." Yes. It is a NSMD PCB. "Does there appear to be any residues on the bare boards, and/or, BGA components prior to applying the solder paste?"

HASL Fluids are generally not RA based fluxes. They are generally fluxes based on hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid or a mixture of the two, plus some very strong wetting agents that are very hygroscopic. Doesn't the residue of hydrochloric go wh

To all good suggestions I will add a few other thoughts: 1. Check PCB design(attached). THis mask clearance there is designed so you have some gas escape plan- verify if your PCB design follows that. 2. You can have a long soak reflow profile to re

Base on the top picture condition, seems like the boards condition is a lot with solder splash or solder ball which is per IPC-610 is under reject (under 5.6.2)for class 3 product. While the picture 2 is showing those the solder resist is not melt pr

I ordered few times of prototyping gold plating > pcb from China. How to i differentiate they are > ENIG or Flash gold? Hi,Friend , this is very easy to distinguish the ENIG and gold plating pcb, you can stratch the solder mask off and see the co

I don't like these boards for a couple different reasons. 1. They may be fine functionally but they look like crap. 2. What is our customer going to think when we deliver boards that look like this? They will probably wonder the same thing I do...
