Any aperture/stencil thickness suggestion to provide a rigid solder joint for 0.8mm pitch PBGA with 0.4mm ball diameter. The pad is based on IPC7095 and it is 0.3mm. Thank!

thanks for info Most of the defect soldering joint do not take place. Observe that PCB not cleaned properly & also component wetting not good. testing staff expect that all card what ever they receiev shuld be 100% ok. they straight forward complain

We have recently started using lead free solder on our wave. The dross accumulates rather quickly. The dross flakes (tin oxide?) are light enough to sometimes fall or float into the main wave. What kind of quality concerns are there if the dross is m

adlsmt, Solder pot temp is set to 265C. About solder joint quality, you must take in consideration the PCB finish when testing different leed-free alloys. Our PCB's are ENIG.

Sure, if your solder joints are reliabale after reflow. TZ is right about watching how you mix it, but 9 minutes sounds like it's not moving too fast. What brand of mixer are you using?

Is the hole always in the same solder joint? What parts do you see the hole(s) on? Can you try a different paste?

Does your board passes also through the wave solder step ? If, yes, it could be a matter of secondary reflow on BGA ball solder joints. Best Regards....GS

Russ, I believe the concern over solders with bismuth in them was that if you did happen to get a little Pb in your solder joint, you could create an alloy that could melt at around 100 degrees C, and that's not all that warm. At least, that's what

Continuing with Darby's point, the surface area of the pin that is in contact with solder is HUGE. You could pound that pin with a 24oz ball peen hammer and not get it to release from the copper in that through hole.

I talked to our quality director and he says every solder joint had to be 50% of the way up on all the parts to be consisdered good.
