Kyung Sam, Justin is correct, there is definately either a board design problem or the PCB maker issue. Obviously there are many mixed technology boards built in the world so I would lean towards a design issue as the root cause. Should you or you

I have a question about solder masking via's in a BGA pattern, and want to see if I'm thinking correctly about this. This problem is kind of along the same line as Carol's problem earlier. I think it's a bad idea to leave the via's free from solder

1) We could press on BGAs and the boards would boot 2) This is basic boot up yield 3) We are now getting stpe by step inspection data going fwd. 4) So, Stencil design could be a critical factor. Any documented guidelines? 5) Yes DFX was done - mostl

Hi Ian, Answers to your questions: 1) PCB Pad Finishing- HASL 63/37 2)Checked a sample lot of parts. Coplanarity did not seem to be an issue. Some of the parts checked still exibited this condition after reflow. 3) There are no large ground plane

When we get a bad print at SMT, the operator uses the alcohol wipes and wipes the paste off the board. Then they use compressed air and another wipe. In most cases this is sufficient. Most vias are tented, but there still remains some solder sphere

| | Hi Jacqueline! | | Do these joints that you're having problems with happen to be on fine pitch solder joints? Are the fillets staying attached to the foot and separating from the pads cleanly? | | If that is true, are there many vias concen

| | Hello: | | BACKGROUD: SMT components soldered on the top-side of boards that also require wave soldering have the potential to reflow during wave soldering. Reflowing these components during wave soldering is not good. It can cause cold joints

Hi Armynski, I sell for an offshore board house, yes, it is common for offshore board shops to fill vias. The bubble is caused by air entrampment within the hole it self, when heat is applied during Hot air and the via is covered on both sides the e

| I am looking for the Industry standards on vias. Are they required to be plated with solder or is copper plating enough? What about reliabilty with either one? Also, if tenting the via is required should it be copper plated or solder plated over
