Please check Circuit Assembly March 1998, article "Solder balls and aperture shapes" and August 1999 "Guiding stencil design". They can be contacted at www.circuitassembly.com The main cause of mid chip solder balls is the volume of paste that is p

First Time to solder BGA's using Water Soluble. We are currently using an Aquaeous Cleaner to clean our PCB's but I find it not enough to clean the flux from under our BGA's. Has anyone had this experience before that he may like to share how he mana

| Has anyone seen a problem with solder under chip components, in-between the glue and the component or in-between the mask and the component? We seen both. | What could be causing this? This has only been detected on one of our products. All the re

We are using 1mm pitch BGAs with a great quantity of via(s) under the component. Very shortly we will be placing CSPs with .65mm pitch. Our via(s) are solder masked, however we generally have a percentage of them that the masking is thin enough that

Welcome!!! Where the hay ya been??? Sorry bud, were lining-up with your fab [it hurts me to say that, but when yer ] We used to dry pack with desiccants, also. Its probably an old MIL-STD-2073-1C requirement [er something like that]. We qui

Thank you for the above information but what I want to talk about is the PCB design aspect. Should there be any warning about it in the DFM?

We had a selective solder installation tech raise the connector body off of the PCB slightly with a spacer to allow for a visual inspection to verify the process/profile. A few years back we invested in a large enclosure X-ray with a manipulator arm

Hi, There is one thing missing still, you must put a TC from the bottom side of the BGA by making a hold on the test board at the TC can measure the temperature at exactly the middle of the BGA. You should be able to the dual time and peak temperatu

| | | | One of the DFM suggestions I've seen is to remove the solder mask web, i.e. the mask between pads on 20-mil QFP devices. The rational is that if the mask is thicker than the pad the mask can prevent the stencil from making intimate contact w
