Glen: As I mention in an earlier response in this thread, I think someone at Steve's plant (or may be in his packaging spec for the fabs) is doing something to leave a residue, but I'm also thinking solder mask ... ENIG can be applied before or aft

Sal: Hey that customer standing around staring at you sound like fun, yeh right!!! Wolfgang makes good sense, but, in addition, I�d like to drill-down on board fabrication (har har har) a little bit (har har har) more. You say the holes are the cor

We have seen this problem several times. It always goes back to pad solderability, very seldom does it have anything to do with ball size. If there is no evidence of wetting on that pad, but all of the other pads did solder, you need to ask yourself

Steve, someone somewhere is feeding you a line!! if you increase the draft angle from || to / \ on your laser cut stencil you increase the surface area of the side wall and hence increase the likelyhood of the paste sticking in the aperture. Whats m

Ashok: Plating thickness and ductility of the copper are things to look for. If it�s a crack where two layers are pressed together one possible cause could be bad process parameters while pressing these layers together at the PCB shop with the resul

Patrick- You have not given enought detail of the type of discoloration. Is it "white residue"? Can it be "rust" colored? Whatever it is, you fab supplier needs to be called in immediately and give you an exact reason for this failure. Just rubbing

I am having a problem with some joints on a 100 pin pqfp and few different soics on one particular board. When viewed a 8x with a "Mantis" inspection scope the joints look as though they wetted to the ic leg but when probed the leg will pop loose.

Hi Dave, What feeder model do you have? I took a quick look in my parts list manual and again, depending on your feeder model, you might be able to buy the needed part(s) from Zevatech/Juki. Have you checked with them yet? For example, the main feed

Armin: Locating vias within the courtyard of components is bad practice. Concerns are: * Poor solder paste print quality, caused by the via preventing good stencil gasketing. * Poor component reflow, caused by the via holding the component out o
