Thanks Jim. Pressing the QFN into paste was what I thought of, just wasn't sure if it would cause solder paste to be pressed outside the pad area and possibly bridge with an adjacent pad. Do you recall the ratio of paste coverage to the pad area?

Many pick and place platforms rely on nozzle spring pressure to determine how hard a part is getting pushed into the paste.

SteveO, I had personal experience with this using a Panasonic MPAV2B. It took a while, but I believe the end result was to have some additional "Z" travel to press the QFN into the paste. Also, the design of the paste on the ground was key to keep t

Hi guys, Can someone please clarify whether adjustment of Z axis travel is a critical parameter during placement of QFN devices. If so, to within what tolerance? In other words, should a pick and place machine position a QFN down on the board so t

I agree with Dave. If the device has a lot of power we'll put thermal vias between the solder deposits with annular rings of soldermask to keep solder out of the holes. We've never had to mess with placement pressure. We've been using QFNs for yea

| My firm has just begun it's first PCB that will use BGA packaging. I have been reading up on the processes involved with BGAs and was wondering if you need to apply solder paste to the pads prior to applying heat and mounting the part to the board

They don't look that bad, especially for SN100. There is evidence of wetting on the toe and the paste on the pad seems to have reflowed properly. What does the heal look like? That's the more critical part of the solder joint for Gull leaded parts.

Vinny: From a thermal standpoint, your choices are: * Get your customer to design thermal relief in the board. * Set your thermal recipe to assure that the grounded pad reaches reflow temperature. This may require a long soak at a single temperature
