I'm having shorts appear on my QFN packages between pins, usually only after a week or so of power-on operation. The shorts are 1K and slowly down to hard shorts over time. Typically a defective part will have failures on multiple pins. I tried havi

In response to your questions: Is the embrittlement from excess gold in lead / tin solder connections bad? It can be vereeee bad. Does it affect all plating processes the same? Give us a break and read the SMTnet Archives, for instance: BGA prob

Excellent X-ray picture, very helpful! It looks like you have a lot of voiding on the center thermal pad. My guess is that outgassing is pushing solder off the pad which is forming solder balls outside the body of the component package. The first

It seems familiar, but nothing that I've actually experienced. I've read some articles about tin-whiskering in lead-free solder. I think NASA has some pretty good analysis (or, at least they did a couple of years ago). The summary is that without

Well Greg, I don�t know YOUR 0805 Pads but if you look at the recommended pattern for 0805 in IPC-SM-782 you might notice that the Z-dimension is somewhat about the size of your 1206 part length. With that and assuming that you ask if the results wi
