The company I represent provides electronic manufacturing services. Some of my customers ask that we ship their boards "un-tested". By un-tested I mean we build them, visually inspect them and out they go. I find that on un-tested boards, it's not

I am a design engineer and have a circuit board design with a 292 pin BGA on it. The board manufacturer is experiencing a failure rate of about 2.8% on the BGA device due to soldering problems. This is my first experience with BGA. How does the 2.

I would appreciate if you can share your experience with pick failure rates, preferably for 0402 parts. Also, what percentage do you consider acceptable?

By tape manufacturer you can have up to two empty slots in the tape. That means you should have two retries after the first pick up.

Yes, I know all that, but I am interested in some real figures from the field. That is, what percentage of mispicks do you experience on average (for large runs, of course)?

For 0402's, if the operator is paying attention, our equipment Panasonic CM 402/602/NPM's run at about .001%. Again this is dependent on an operator that pays attention to the fail rate. We usually don't have too many problems with 0402's, LED's ar

a lot depends on the age and type of equipment you are using . Older equipment can have a lot of problems with smaller parts. If all is well with your feeders and machine you should expect something like 99.8 to 99.9 percent. some parts will be ident

Tim, What Brian writes is all true. However, let em put it into a sales / marketing perspective..... The REAL issue in your situation is: Who is responsible for the failures which WILL result in shipping untested product? Typically, your customer

Hi Bart, that�s much to high. If that would happen to me my boss would tear my head off. For improving the yields you must find the cause for the soldering problems. What are the symptoms? What could be the cause for the symptoms? Could be design pr

Hi It's me again. Our products need to pass a chamber test 45c/36hrs after the PCBA completed batch of functional tests and assemble in to case. We found 1 unit was functioning for 24hours in the chamber, but hang after that. We tried to re-boot the
