OK. Point taken, lets keep this simple then, how about just the issue of under cured solder resist? Any body else encountered such issues. Just feedback, 'cause its something that just seems to have been highlighted to me. Thanks.

It might be easier to answer what we haven�t seen. In today�s economy everyone is looking for a deal. Just remember "there is no sex in the Champaign Room"

Hi Sam, I am going to guess that a problem is being caused by processing to effect the inside of the LED package. Send some failed LEDs back to the manufacturer to do a failure analysis. Also ask the manufacturer for info on their SMT processing q

Sam: If your gold overcoat was pourous, the nickel undercoat would corrode prior to your attempting to solder and you would not be able to solder without an aggressive flux. Since you see solder flow and wetting, it indicates the gold did an adequat

Thank you Russ for your comment. This failure cause should have been confirmed as contaminated plating surface causing poor solderability and conductivity, according to all the testing and observations. The only question remaining to me is that why

Dave, I believed you are really experienced in SMT soldering process. What I meant good connection, should really be "Visual check by naked eye OK". From your message, there are situation of "marginal solderability" that will lead to uncertainty

Hi AlC, Q: Who calculates Cp, Cpk. It depends on the company, it's size and structure. Some expect the SMT / Process Engineer to do this work and others have all kinds of other groups involved. YiEngr, MA/NY DDave

Trying to come up with a way to repair or replace damaged or missing balls on BGA's. Has anyone done or tried to do this?

Hi! One technique: 1. Remove all balls 2.Make a mask(stensil)for reballing.The holes of the mask must be 0.8-0.9 the size of the pads. 3. Reball chips 4. Reflow chips Good luck
