Our company applies solid solder to surface mount lands. While processing a micro BGA design we had some pads fall off, peel, whatever you might call it, from the surface of the board when touched "GENTLY" with the tip of a blade to remove a small s

When the pad comes off, is it leaving behind a "black" area? Your board may be suffering from black pad - a condition that occasionally affects ENIG finish boards. It is a process control issue with your board fabricator. The nickel is oxidising b

Don't sound proper. There is no specification. Pad peel strength test methods are: * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.21 for multiple solderings * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.8 for copper peel with a Instron machine. Typical requirement for Cu is: 6 lbf/in [1

Hi Russ, Thanks for the input. The squeeze out we are reworking is very very thin since it has been flattened so it is actually easier to remove than usual but I agree, with a pad this small it could exert a bit of stress on the bond line if rework
