We recently have received a lot of warped (bowed and/or twisted behond IPC 600 specs.) bare boards (some our fabricator's fault, some ours by design) and I can't help but figure that long term reliability will suffer when building product with them.

Currently, I am having problems with a AMP Mictor connector at the wave process. These connectors have both SMT leads(topside) and thru-hole leads. Even though we have re-designed the board for via issues. We still see some of the SMT leads re-fl

Hi Dave F, customer calls it "warp", we can call it "twist/bow"..etc. the "warp" occurs on individual PCB cells of 28per each panel. the overall dimension of the panel is 139mm x 168mm, and each individual PCB cell is 2.4mm x 1.2mm. Thickness is 0.

| I need some opinions (And I know everybody has one). | I am mounting a board into a case, after mounting the board | I am loading it with stress in the middle causing it to bend around .030 inch. The board is 4" X 6" and is Bending in the 4" dire

Check : 1) design aspect ratio / are ratio required to fabricate the stencil you r using. 2) check if the stencil maker is using your checked aspect ratio / area ratio? if not the same, what are they using? any QA report confirming actual dimension

| | Hi, | | I just cheesed my previous attempt at this. I looked through IPC 600 and couldn't find anything relating to dimensional stability of a board with regard to stretch. I found bow and twist but nothing on size. I have a PCB that is .030"

Hi Milan, One cause for such BGA failures could either be a laminate warp (bow or twist) formed during your Reflow or Wave soldering process, or perhaps a warp seen on the BGA component package itself prior to processing on SMT line. IPC guidelines f

| Does anybody know if a contraption exists that will minimize a PCB's tendency to become slightly bent after reflow? We have a new product that we're planning to assemble in a couple of months. The board is 9.7" by 13.4" and it is imperitive that

You may care to review the following from my Circuits Assembly page on line. "HOW FLAT IS FLAT AND DO WE NEED FLAT CIRCUIT BOARD, YES WE DO ? As production problems go there is one that keeps reoccurring time and time again. The blame is usually di
