There are several surface treatment for PCB board: bare board (no treatment on the surface), rosin board, OSP (Organic Solderability Preservatives), HASL (lead tin, lead-free tin), plating gold, immersion gold, etc., these are relatively conscious treatment. Many people can't tell the difference between plating gold and immersion gold, thinking that it is the same thing, it is a big mistake. The following is a brief introduction to the difference between plating gold and immersion gold.

Hi Folks: We've been having bridging problems on our fine-pitch QFP's, despite thorough inspection of paste height, volume, and placement accuracies....profiles look good also. The bridging is happening after coming out of reflow...one last thing t

Hi Gani, looking at the HASL icture and the poor wetting of the solder over the pads I would imagine that the HASL coating is very thin on the pads and in actual fact isn't 'solder' but is tin /copper intemetallic and this has poor solderability. It

Hello everyone We have a QFP-308 (0.20" pitch)on a board and we have a lot of opens after reflow. We checked our profil by installing thermocouples on the pads of the component and everythings seems OK. We checked the coplanarity of the leads and it

Similar to Coop's comments, above ... Bridging: * Mis-placement: misplaced components, high placement force mushrooms paste * Too much paste: HASL thickness, lead finish, poor underside support, poor underside wipe frequency, printing with too lar

I agree. Just thinking.. could it be copper plating issue as well? anyway, would be interesting to see some photos. Sounds like solder (from HASL process, wave or even poorly washed SMT solder paste) to me.

If the HASL was poor quality and very thin you would find this defect....but you would expect to see it on more pads also. Also, you'd expect to see your solder from your solder paste either dewetted on the pad or reflowed onto the BGA sphere making

We have had soldering problems with fine pitch QFP in the past [and probably will in the future]. Several questions leap to mind: * When you took your profile on the component pads, do you profile on the pads that did not solder well? * When you say

Now seen the Blow Holes and shallow inverted and non wetting problem an aweful lot over here. Over came the Blow Holes and shallow inverted joints by washing the bare PCB with hot Saponifier then rinse and dry = problem dissapears. Think most PCB ven
