| | | Looking for solder paste specification limits which have reliability data to support them. Currently, we are looking to define the min/max volume necessary to ensure a good joint on CBGA, PBGA, and Micro-BGA's. Any information will be greatly

Hello all, I read about Steve's headache a few articles back and I'm really interested by his tip. However, I'm still wondering why square apertures release solder paste better than round ones. For the same volume of paste, the surface area of th

| Can anyone give me the virtues of SMT package castellations vs. no castellations with particular reference to the ruggedness and reliability of the solder joints? Any references or studies that you can point me to? Also, although I'm in favor of

We've got a problem with a fine pitch board that has about .005" registration error at each end (towards the center of the board) when it's printed. Apparently we've got a case of board stretch generated at the fab shop. I still have to do some mea

Can you use the equipment manual as the basis for learning how to use the machine? Each model of printer has different alignment techniques. We don't have a clue of your model type. So, we'll approach the question from its most basic point. Registe

The ISL12020 real time clock comes in a 20 lead DFN, and includes a 32kHz crystal in the package. The terminals of the crystal and oscillator come out to external pads and are highly susceptible to leakage to the neighboring power supply pins. With
