ALso, coming to the convection the DIMA service group said : "Its full convection in the top zones. The bottom zones are heating elements mounted underneath a thick aluminium plate. So not full IR, but the head is coming from the heated aluminium p

As I understand, you are wire bond gold wire to gold pad, where the substrate has good bond strength, but the die does not. If bond quality is good, and then drops off rapidly, then it's probably something to do with contamination within the system

Hi everybody, I have a question about the minimum distance to leave beteween a non non-plated mounting hole with copper pads and the edge of the PCB. Is there any formula or rule to apply ? For example for a hole of diamater equals to 5.6mm which

Double-check me on this, but I don't believe that A-610 [IPC-A-610] requires side fillets on QFN solder connections, because the sides of most terminations are not plated. Plating on the bottom of the termination is sufficient for a proper solder con

These are great pictures. I have never seen this kind of solder repelling from the pad. My number one suspect now is the PCB. Your focus should be on board plating and contamination. The easiest test is to have meaningful batches from another board h

Hi Graham - brite acid tin gets it "shiny" appearance due to codeposited organic material in the tin plating. The codeposited materials volatilize during the soldering process causing a ton of voids. Brite acid tin plating should not be used as a sol

Hi anyone knows what is the minimum copper foil thickness available across the industries to make PCB surface. Intention is to achieve 23 microns of finished copper thickness in a 0.3mm thickness PCB. Ideally if 3 microns plates are available, additi

Since side fillets are not a requirement for QFNs/BTCs due to some packages not having wettable side terminations, how does one determine if the side terminations are actually solderable/designed for wetting? Is it simply if the side terminations

You'll need the specific Mydata part. It has some specific dots and square printed on it. It should be in a box with other calibration parts, stuff which we do at least every 6 months. I attached an internet picture of the box that contains the diff
