Okay, Okay, here is the rest of the story! These boards were definitely plated, reworked to HASL, The component that is the most succeptable is a 160 pin QFP .5mm pitch. This component has nickel/iron lead frame. Significantly reduced apertures (1

Russ: Now that�s a good story. Nuff said on the Vegas trip, that explains everything. Especially when you say "it must have something to do with ..." I love WS609. It�s been berry, berry good to me. Intermetalic Layer (IL). A compound formed a

| We are having some difficulty soldering a 240 pin Altera device. We use Alpha WS-609, a very generic profile for that solder paste, and a 6 mil stencil with laser cut apertures (1:1 ratio). This is a 20 mil pitch device (aperture size is 10 mils X

We have an ongoing problem with our QFP144 packages soldering. It has not received much attention until late due to some customer failures. Most of the failures would show up in ESS testing and be repaired. The failure rate is about 2 in 1000 parts f
