Hi, Can anyone help me as to what is acceptable and reject when it comes to solder balling under BGA's? I've got some BGA's with solder Ball but they seemed to be attached and they are about 10% of the size of the actual soldered BGA joint size. Our

Hello, Can anyone comment on the implications of small sodler balls under a leadless device such as LLP with a centre thermal land. I believe that we did not make a good reduction and the paste squeezed out of the centre land and balled up under the
