What is the surface finish of the PCB? Tin? Imersion Silver? What flux is used in wave solder and / or SMT? I have much experience with silver migration and tin wiskers. Both can disappear during a reqork cycle. Both can be extremely difficult

I need to first understand what "Peeled the BGA off" means. Was heat used? was this the pry and lift method? We had shorts under some BGA's we have and the solder was bridging from lead to lead but not on the board level at the FR4 on the BGA creati

Even though you use a no clean process, it is still possible that some type of fluid has created the "short". Production lines are notorious for using cleaning chemicals on PCBs to clean excess flux after rework on other areas. Unless this type of c

Hello guys, I´m pretty new on pcba process and I´m writing to see if you can help me, we have combo process om pcb for UPS boards and we are facing a lot of shorts after wave the boards. We did few tests with different fluxes different profiles chan

Do any of the pcbs work with the bga? i.e. some work and some dont? It sounds like a layout issue.

Hi, I will focus on the flux one more time. Try different amount(usually more flux should give you better result). Also depends what kind of flux you are using? Water based or alchohol based? Try with another type that you are using. Check the spee

Has anyone experienced electrical shorting between adjacent leads of a ceramic hermatic sealed IC? If so, can you share root cause and corrective action? The shorting appears to be in the glass frit seal itself but the failure mechanism is unknown. A

Make sure that whoever is pretinning leads are not using a water soluble flux. If they are, make sure parts are being cleaned immediately upon cooling
