I have a board with the above problem from our PCB supplier. After they applied the solder mask and run the PCB's to HASL process, the solder mask bubbled on one side of the PCB making the solder mask thickness higher and PCB looking awkward. They s

We care currently running into problems during our plug via process: At the moment we plug prior to soldermask (LPISM) using epoxy resin - plugging takes place from the component side - however we are seeing solderballs after solder level.This is cau

See what happens when you take a couple of days off? Your theory sounds reasonable, but someone else could make an equally valid case that you are blasting your solder plug across the room with the force of the expansion of entapped air between th

If the vias are large and don't always tent, you can have your pcb supplier double mask the pcb. I do this for COB assembly sometimes because the globtop wicks through the vias and also causes air bubbles in the globtop.

Russ, first step would be to get IPC-7095 on BGAs. A few notes: There can be voids in solder balls, or at the solder joints to the BGA, or at the solder joints to the PCB. Various sources or reasons can be responsible for these voids. Voids can be

Cellular and PDA architectures employ this technology all the time. You have to be careful with your board supplier as well as with your plugging approach. Leave the via unplugged, I guarantee voids in the solder joint. That leaves us with, "how d

Hello, We are using a PCB with thickness 3.2mm 4 layer and lot of through hole via's of diameter 0.4mm. We specified our PCB vendor to do plugging. Now we have big problems, that after 1..4 weeks we measure a low resistance between track's/via's of
