You say that there is no green solder mask around the lands of the BGA only silk screen. If that is the case I would be concerned about the solderabilty of the component if the silk screen gets onto the pads. The application of solder mask is much mo

The total inductance of a chip capacitor is determined both by its length to width ratio and by the mutual inductance coupling between its electrodes. So, a 1210 chip size has a lower inductance than a 1206 chip. Check with your supplier for recomm

In PCB design, a BGA (Ball Grid Array) package typically determines the number of layers that a Printed Circuit Board should have. However, the 4-layer board with a BGA package is commonly used than a 2-layer than an 8-layer PCB. On the other hand, t

The padsfor large heat sinks are being designed on our boards with large copper ground planes surrounding them by our engineers. I am having great difficulty keeping the reflow temperature below 230 degrees in order for the temperature of the copper

Is your customer trying to reduce voiding? If the device is using Sn90 / Pb10 and the paste is Sn63/Pb37 the board will melt first. However, if both solders are 183C eutectic, it's a tossup? PCB design, copper weight, bga type (pbga, micro bga, Tbg

Hi All, One of my customer has provided a pcb design having common pad for 0402 and 1206 package(i.e 3 pads in the gerber, pad1,pad2 belongs to 1206 package and pad2,pad3 belongs to 0402 package) Will this create any solderability issue. Is anyone e

The pads you use for Reflow will be be fine for handsolder. Russ

This sounds like a job for ssd. No pad shapes to worry about. Look into http://www.sipad.net and please contact me off line to discuss it. Matt Kehoe mkehoe@sipad.net

You're correct. This design will have a record amount of 0402 rework for tombstoning and misalignments. Suggest that the pads on each end of all components be the same size in order to balance wetting forces during reflow.
