Does anyone know the cause(s) of solder flowing through a via to the other side of board during reflow causing solder bumps on opposite side? Is this mainly a design issue or could it be process related? Any help is appreciated.

Assuming you're seeing this during wave solder, the via acts like a heat pipe conducting 450�F [or whatever] air to your solder balls. Check the fine SMTnet Archives for similar threads and perspective on the direction to take.

I'm not seeing this during the wave solder process, rather the REFLOW (convection) process. The board was design with the vias located "in" the land area.

Been there - done that. Makes a mess on that 2nd reflow process- doesn't it!?!?!? This is caused by design. If the open via is located in the land area, it will flow thru the via and cause pumps on the opposite side. You can have your vias filled

Oooo, the solder on the pad and PGA ball is flowing during reflow down the via to the secondary side? Why didn�t you say so?? ;-) Why would you expect that gravity and capillary action wouldn�t force solder to flow down the solder plated via to the

To whom this may concern, I recently ran into the problem with vias on pads of BGA when place BGA and reflow gas trap on vias escape and result in ball having void greater than 50% of BGA diameter. The BGA pad is measured at 20 mils and the vias mea

We baked the board first and print 2 mil water soluble paste at the BGA location and reflow. Wash and baked before the production run.

You have a very bad situation. It�s tough for the gas, flux material, er whatever to escape when the BGA is sitting on top of it and the blind via is blocking it from the other side. Obviously the vias should have been: * Placed on the edge of the

Hello, I am trying to convince our design engineer to use micro-vias when he has to locate them in the middle of a pad. I heard of the use of micro-vias on this site and was wondering if someone could lead me in the direction of somewhere
