Very strange question,but interesting.Is there anyone who have conducted any experiments to figure out the results?I made a profile board,one thermal couple on pad and other one drilled into the ball of BGA.the 2 points are perpendicular to conveyor

You have a lot to think about! What does the flux manufacturer recommend as far as specifics like water temp or pressure? Do they recommend high temp di-water a detergent or saponifier? Do you currently have a cleaning machine, batch cleaner or inl

I'm actually currently in the process of discussing with stencil MFG regarding the apertures and reduction to see if perhaps it was not optimal for this fine pitch QFN, as just as you mentioned, we have similar products with similar QFNs that do not

Since side fillets are not a requirement for QFNs/BTCs due to some packages not having wettable side terminations, how does one determine if the side terminations are actually solderable/designed for wetting? Is it simply if the side terminations

I have noticed on a recent project, the QFN and SOP solder deposits do not seem very uniform and have been leaving little balls, whiskers and icicles of solder paste coming from some pads which leads to bridges. https://imgur.com/a/lqw5RF1 I have u

So, it looks like the backward compatible of BGA statement is not guarantee for solder joint reliability. It doesn�t matter what temperature and what melting sequence we have in order to avoid the solder void issue. Is Pb diffused homogeneously thr

We agree that it looks like a touch-up process. However, we're not certain that it would meet Class 3 requirements. It appears to be an incomplete solder joint. The outer bit of solder shows voiding to the inside bit of the solder joint, and it lo

BGA rework equipment: Search the fine SMTnet Archives to find threads like: http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=48736 Use x-ray inspection to identify the obvious defects such as shorts, missing balls and gross solder voids.

Some people involved in PCB assembly process claim that SMD components reflow soldering problems are often caused by traces running under a component. According to this claim, trace (or any copper) covered by solder mask and placed under SMD componen
