Russ - I agree with the other guys that the problem could be black pad or some intermetallic problem, possibly related to the "conversion" to HASL finish. But my first guess is still partial reflow at wave soldering. You won't catch it by push

Hi, if you want to verify the gold contamination, is mandatory to use the XPS and FTIR analysis, but is difficult think about a gold contamination from 3 different manufacturers. Do you have cleaned the PCBs after an erroneous screen process ? If no

Also keep in mind that the CCGA column length tolerance is at minimum +/- 0.13mm from most part manufactures and they don't collapse in the same way as a BGA, therefore the paste height deposit could be critical in some rare circumstances. Board warp

No, we didn't do the test you mentioned, but did EDS on the joints and didn't see carbon their (which would indicate the presence of any organic-based contaminant). For the customer the issue was closed and passed to the board shop. We did work with

Yes why did the Electroless Nickel layer split this is the ROOT cause. My guess is still that the resist was slightly miss registered over the copper and therefore poor adhesion of the Nickel ensued OR like I said originally the resist had contaminat

Hi Derek, just curious of one thing - are the vias within the BGA's the only vias covered or are all vias on the board covered. Just trying to figure out what is making this area different from the rest of the board. Regarding leaching, I do not be

What is the most appropriate method to solderability test in OSP surface finish PCB? I have used Edge Dip for Surface Features testing, but the results are failed in some features. I haven't also found standards to OSP surface finish. Thank you for n

IPC-4555 has not completed yet. According to IPC org, it will be complete in mid-2017. Is there another guideline about OSP finish surface? In fact, we assembled 50 pieces and no problem. But in solderability test we have problems in some features. D
