Whoever established the PPM rates should tell you what it is covering (solder joints/assemblies) PPM is nothing more than a ratio. Determining quality levels is really up to you/company and how you want to measure your quality. This can be anything

IMHO, depending on whether its a regular run model, or a properly designed/setup pilot run model, getting a mean 75%-95% First Pass Yield (FPY%) is possible as a benchmark target. This is derived from your manufacturing history capabilities, and requ

Hi Christina, What would you be basing the yields off of? Is it solder defect, component placement, etc....? I have worked for a flex house for quite a few years. You are right. The Polyimide is very dimentionally unstable. (even more so on humid da

i would say that you are there already. with 10,000 DPM0 you have a 1% fallout, you are at 99.9 basically. 1 out of a 1000 boards will fail? of course one thing we need to know is how many opportunitites do you count for a chip resistor for exam

We use a fairly simple system. IPC put out standards 7912A and 9261A to define opportunities. Basicly the "number of components" + "number of solder joints" = "number of opportunities." Some six sigma benchmarking studies indicated "Sigma Level" =

To be successful, and to yield quality products off any selective solder systems out there on the market today, DFX rules need to be enforced and followed. Lay-out is a one-shot process where as manufacturing of the PCBA is continuous. Obviously, muc

Hi What would be considered a reasonable benchmark when placing finepitch devices say 24, 15mill pitch devices avg 2000 joints and a total pad count of 6918. I would be gratefull for any advice on this matter, also if anyone can recommend any real

Hi Dean, Can you please tell me how we could incorporate DPU to DPMO? Also, can you please explain the deviation factor DPU * deviation factor = DPMO ? Should we take dollar value or number of joints? Explain with calculations if you please. Thanks

We have been wave soldering mini-melfs for many years. Main problem for us has been excess and bridging joints but few skips. To overcome our problem we provide a minimum of 0.5mm clearance around each component, not great use of real-estate but prov

Thanks, Dave appreciate the info. One of my trains of thought was leading to the convex because I thought that having the "bump" would allow for easier wave soldering? I did look at some data we had and did find you to be correct, the concave hav
