The typical PIP process is incorporated into the surface mount process. This approach requires the following: The stencil will be designed so that the correct amount of solder paste can be printed onto the through-holes to form an acceptable joint

John, There is one process issue that occurs with the larger BGA packages which have coplanarity near the high end of the .2mm spec.. The defect is commonly referred to as "ball in cup" and "head in pillow". It is an open solder connection whereby th

Develop your recipe wave soldering exactly as you developed your recipe for reflow soldering. The only difference is that instead of using your paste supplier's recommendations as the starting point, use your flux supplier's recommendations as a bas

Expanding on the limit of the portion of gold acceptable in a solder connection [mentioned in an earlier post]: The embrittlement culprit, AuSn4, is 29 weight percent gold. So even if one had 100% tin as the solder alloy and 10% gold were dissolved
