Thanks davef Bridging:- There is no heat sink on the BGA, the heat sink will be fix after relow. I do believe paste had something to do with it, but currently this defect didn't appear so oftenly, so we think that the main root cause is not from the

Anyone have experience printing solder paste for a Toshiba SSM3K15CT(TPL3) FET with CST3 package? Using 1 to 1 rectangular apertures with a 4 mil stencil and Alpha OM 338 #4 powder size lead free solder paste. Print head speed is 15 mm/sec and solven

We evaluated the OM338 from Alpha and it worked great! Looked like crap, though, compared to the other products out there. When I set the boards out in front of the Alpha sales guy to show him the difference in appearance between his boards and the

Pb free pastes do not wet out like 63/37. Their are no claims from any manufacturers that I am aware of that say it will. Your "little solder balls" are likely caused from oxidization during reflow. What type paste are you using 3,4,5? What are t

I have read some threads about poor wetting on palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) coated components. I followed the suggestions, but I am still having a problem. The part is an 0603 chip type (Vishay varistor). The Process: solder paste is lead-free Alpha Met

Maybe the area ratio between the sides of the stencil apertures and the aperture opening is too low for the spec of the paste ? So it will tend to stick in the apertures. ...only solution is thinner stencil or a paste that can release easily when are

Hi , We are having Pin hole issues on the passive locations in the board after the SMT reflow process. Details: PCB surface Finish : ENIG . Solder paste : Alpha OM338 – M13 / Indium SMQ92J Location : Its Random and more on passive components. {

Dear Team, We are facing open solder issue in a sensor component. Rejection rate is 2 out of 50 components placed. The issue is very random. We have tried increasing the solder paste height from 5 mil to 7 mil. The issue persist still. Differen

First, where the temperatures that aare mentioned in the original post measured? Second, it sounds like the PdAg component terminations are not seeing enough heat [your soldering iron touch-up proves this]. Your 232*C peak is the absolute minimum s
