We'd expect that a 0603 in properly cured, in-date code, properly dispensed chip bonder would take 5-8 pounds to push off the board.

Silver Immersion Finish - Moisture bake out guideline?

Therein lies the issue. Unknown storage conditions before we received the PCBs, date codes just expired (2 weeks), first article is de-lam city! Had a bad feeling about it. Have read some studies showing that there is no linear tie in of visual cha

From looking at your images I would say it could be poor solderability on the terminations of the component itself. Can you get your hands on a different date code and try them out?

Search on Attrition, I think most companies start around 2% across the board. I have adjusted mine higher for 0603, and parts where I experience tape issues constantly. We are running parts with date codes back 2006,2008.

If you do 100% incomming inspection the operator will not have to worry about the part being right or wrong. we do 100% at our facility and create a custom barcode label for lot code and date code traceability. that way we know if the part does not h

voids in solder

Electronics Forum | Tue Mar 06 14:10:52 EST 2001 | CAL

Are the voids in the balls of a BGA? Are you verifying this through x-ray if they are? some voids depending on size and location are some what accepted. Solder paste type? Solder paste date code? Humidity high? PCB's been stored in a truck trailer?

What are other testing/process step that we should do if we where to use the old date code QFPs other than solderability and baking ? What is the plating composition normally %? lead, % tin etc. I have my policy not to accept the more than 12 mont
