| 2 Product reliability testing. Certainly you wouldn't shake your product to be shipped to customers, but running reliabilty tests, including shake and burn-in testing, are a good way to maintain the relaility of your product. We modified paint s

Hello, I've been evaluating a bunch of wave solder fluxes and found one that is absolutely perfect. I'm so excited I can't wait to switch over. Unfortunately, I have to assure reliability, and the only test I have in-house is ionic contamination

DB Sure, it is always possible to "duck in outside air" to use with production equipment, but be careful, you have to determine the air quality required for your process. Cosnsider moisture, contaminates and the actual forcing of air into a confine

| I'm very familiar with the great board space savings of BGA and all the "claims to fame." However, can someone out there tell me if any concern exist in the inspection realm. Additionally, solder cracking, CTE/TCE mismatches, no leads for stress re

| | Hi, | | We are having problem with yield loss due to electrical fail. Further investigation shows that the failure is due to solder bridging under BGA. Has been there any study or experience on how this could occur and what we can do to prevent
