I am familiar with TI's documents on QFN mounting. I do not have an X-Ray machine, so I worry about excessive voiding that could happen with using the thermal vias improperly. As a general rule-of-thumb, I print paste with a 25% reduction on the ther

The size of the pad changes among the two. A solder mask defined pad will always be larger than a copper defined by your mask expansion setting. This will affect paste volume, if your standard paste aperture is designed for copper defined pads you m

I concern about the Through Hole soldering as well. Currently, we have encountered some problems of Multilayer from Through Hole soldering. The root-cause is probably related to PCB Finish, machine setting, Thermal relief Pad or hole and something e

We know virtually nothing about your process, but here's some guesses: * Turn-off the nitrogen * Change from Sn63 to Sn62 * Change to a low-tombstone paste * Change the thermal recipe: slower ramp, longer soak * Do a better job of placing components

As far as the large thermal gradient I have on my thick and thermal heavy board, I've done quite a bit to minimize the gradient but not successful. it's like one pad is connected to a signal while the other pad is connected to ground, you can't bring

Is there some good resources (.pdfs, websites, articles) that someone can point me to regarding design for bga footprints? I need to brush up on thermal relief design for bga footprints. I got a customer whose bga lands are masking defined on top of

Haaaaaa!!!! You contractors get all the fun don't ya??? Consider: * Replacing the balls on the corners of the devices with balls composed of a "hard solder", yano something like 90/10. * Shimming to prevent excessive collapse of a heavy BGA during
