Does anyone know where I can find good rule of thumb information on soldering/brazing. I am most interested learning the maximum recommended CTE mismatch between two different materials that thermally cycle between 25-100C.

Sounds like someone aimin� fo tha big hurt, if ya axes me. Two spots to place your lawn darts are: 1 J Hwang in "Modern Solder Technology � " states (p.354) that " � extreme CTE mismatch between silicon IC (~2) and the PCB (~16), solder connections

Jim, I wouldn't sweat a TCE mismatch between Ceramic chip components and FR4. No need to worry. 99.5% of consumer product out there utilizes this exact technology with no threat of failure due to CTE mismatch. The terminices of the components occu

Justin, I would be currious as to your customers application, and if the temperature delta and rate are great enough to cause solder joint failures as a function of mismatched Tce then you may want to consider that even if you are able to identify

Ina ddition to the above it can be from CTE mismatch and the joints are breaking during cooling. Is this an Altera part?

Could it be a CTE mismatch issue?

That is possibley CTE mismatch between QFN and PCB material, the thicker PCB the higher fail rate.

CTE mismatch. X, Y, Z all expand at different rates. Cooling or heating rates will not change this CTE mismatch. Layer counts, power plane ballance, equal run lengths in x-y and copper balance all contribute. Have your supplier evaluate your s

Hi, could anyone tell me the maximum size of an SMD ceramic capacitor that can be assembled on a copper based substrate reliably? The SMD will be reflowed on the copper substrate. The main concern is the CTE mismatch between the ceramic capacitor and

Russ, we had similiar issue on the corner seperation. The board is ENIG and the part is Altera FBGA 1020 (Super BGA) and reflowed by tin/lead paste. Please comment your concern on Altera parts! Is CTE mismatch?
