Kurt: Lots of choices, not many of them good, yano. 1 So LPI has taken over the market pretty nearly 100%, but it won't "tent" reliably, because it is not very viscous when applied and drops into the hole. So then, tenting/plugging with LPI is bad

Hi, can you definitely attribute the 30%yield to poor bga soldering? What is your high flyer defect encountered on the failed boards.Is this ICT ,flying probe ,functional test yield? Can you determine a defect pattern? Did your subcontractor provided

Hi Dave, we were touching that topic already during our 6 sigma dialog. I strongly believe the root cause for most of the problems is lack of education. I also find that sometimes employees use the information deficit as a protective shield, like �

We are already using ICT on the PCB, which should catch most missing components, also components installed backwards, or the wrong value(to a point - we do RF so we have lots of very small value caps and inductors which can't be measured), and in som

Mike, when you ask if companies afford to place additional environmental constraints on the manufacturing process, perhaps we should ask whether they can afford not to pay attention to environmental issues. I know this sounds a little flippant, but i

You aren't going to post our stuff on your "Hey, I'm the wizard site", are you? Board fab, Pad coatings, OSP 1 OSPs: Imidazole (Via Systems) is good. Entek (Enthone) works, but requires strict thickness control in fab. 2 Enthone CU56 allows one t

Well, at least I don�t feel so bad that we�re not the only ones going anal on this blankin� cap thing. We�re gunna change process on ever effin wave soldered SMT cap!!! I�m going to off myself!!!! And in about 15 seconds, some doodoo brain is goin

Casimir, The Q and other lead trimmers work extremely well if properly used. Blade life is directly proportional to to the height of the cut. There are a few factors that are very important in trimming. You are working with a solid carbide blade whi

Dave: I haven't located something to support your contention, yet, and I'm not going to comment on the factors that drive reliability beyond component selection, because I know that you've got some sweaty-palmed sales type wringing his hands waiting

| | We've recently encountered this problem where one of our .050" pitch BGA's were reflowing at the wave thus causing shorts... The board was profiled with probes stuck to a QFP solder joint, an 0603, and one of the BGA joints. There was an almost
