Our first pass yield across all our products is above 95% but we include anything that does not meet IPC standards. Probably 75% of our failures are not electrical. AOI is a great tool to get a consistent measure of your process. I dont know how anyo

It has been mentioned that DPMO offers large advantages over First Pass yield calculations for measuring process performance!!regarding the same I have a few queries: What are the benchmarks for using DPMO as measures of process performance? How is

That is great point John, it definitely gets you closer to apples vs apples. Remeber one time when we were compared to a another Mfgr that made a square box of plastic for one of our customers we made the PCB the fit into that box, we had wires, fi

New pcba supplier sent us first article pcbas (SMT, Wave & hand solder operations) that failed our testing due to no-clean flux residues found under ICs and around passive capacitors. Second lot came in and had 100% pass yield, but we still see a cl

We're a Tier 1 Automotive Supplier building, what I like to call, Peanut Butter and Jelly Boards. (High Volume, Low Complexity) Our first pass yield, using standard 1st Article Inspection and AOI is about 98-99% on any given day. Last night, for ex

Without a detailed description of the suspect parts It is difficult to pin-point the exact solution to your process problem. However, whenever possible avoid non-value added additions to your current process. Here is the reality of the situation:

We are using our selective solder machine to solder a backplane with sixteen (16) 4x48 pin 0.080" connectors. Our first pass yield is about 85% meaning that 85% of the connectors come out with no bridges. Not quite as fine pitch as your connector a

One thing I would suggest right off the top is to go to a paste printing process. This will get first pass yields higher (usually 10+% higher than gel flux). If you are suggesting that you have good collapse everywhere, the profile is adequate (soun

Most of the time, we have very few skewed parts so I feel comfortable about the processes in general. However once in a while, often enough to throw off the first pass yield, we will get a few boards with a lot of skewed parts. By skewed I mean that

There are several life studies (see for example http://www.solder.net/stencilquik/articles.asp) which point to higher reliability of reworked BGAs using solder paste vs flux. The theory on the mechanisms which allow this to happen are as follows: 1
