Are there anyone who can give me the answer about solder ball problem? We have 12 layer PCB and double sided PCB. After one side reflow soldering We found lots of solder ball under the PCB. The solder ball was coming out from via hole. So when w

Hello all, I am having a problem with solder balls on chip resistors and chip capacitors. I have searched the archives and found some information concerning solder balls but have a couple more questions. 1. What is the realistic industry standard f

Solder ball acceptance: IPC-A-610, 6.5.3.1 & 12.4.10. Solder balls: 5 ball system: * No more than 5 balls per square inch (100mm2) allowed * Solder balls can not be greater than 5 mil (0.005in) (100um) * Solder balls cannot be less than 5 mil (100um)

IPC-A-610 uses words to the effect that it�s a Class 2 process indicator, if either: * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls that are within 0.13 mm [0.00512 in] of lands or connectors, OR * Entrapped or encapsulated solder balls exceed 0.13mm [0.00

I have seen that moisture in pcbs will cause mid chip solder balls. To discount this, take one pcb from a batch that is giving you solder balls and pass it through you reflow oven with no paste or components on (bare pcb)using your normal reflow prof

If the world was a perfect place, I would recommend preventing solder balls in the first place. While low amounts of solder balls are common, a high volume of solder balls are problematic to a cleaning machine (batch or inline). Solder balls may beco

Our customer is asking for a solder ball dispersion test on our string solder for rework. The do not provide a test spec, only the attached diagram? has anyone seen this before? It looks like just pushing the solder against the iron and counting th

Hi all, currently, we are seeing BGA problem like solder ball misalign, void, solder short (all under BGA, tested with 5DX), after reflow. We examine the solder ball (raw material of BGA), and see that the ball surface is not smooth, will that affe

Hello! My problem are solder balls in normal (with Pb) wave soldering proces. Balls appears between connector pads. I tried to change fluxes and preheating in machine (and combinations of both). What else can I do? I have no wide experience in solder

After analyzing the pictures I don't think the solder balls are caused by the solder mask. If the problem would be solder mask related the solder balls would only show up on the solder mask but there are also solder balls on the plastic tabs. To me i
