| I am looking for a little enlightement with an issue that we have been seeing. We have printed curcuit board with multilayer and HAL finished. | After reflow soldering, we have often "blister phenomenon". | Our reflow profile is normal. Factory

I've been struggling with this problem for a while. We have two products: A, which is Ok and B, with tombstone defect (0603 & 0805 capacitor chips). A & B have the same design: pad sizes, separation between pads, components orientation. Both have s

It was a nice discussion. What I did here was a thermal shock test 1 hour@ +90 deg.c and immediately 1 hour @ -40 deg.c. The second test I did was a high humudity test for a week. After each test, I carried out a peel test with scotch tape. Those bo

It will be tough to find a dimensional thickness specification for HASL. IPC-6012 Table 3-2, line "Fused tin-lead or solder coat - Coverage and Solderable" states the requirement that there has to be complete coverage of solder on the land, and it mu

Hi All member I have a problem on the stable down the color of the white solder mask PCB. first, i tough the color differences was cause by the solder mask ink, but after a close look, the color change are cause by the copper under the solder mask

From the picture I would say the problem lies with the PWB manufacturer. It looks as though some part of the plating process was not optimal during the PWB production run, and you have the resulting discoloration following the reflow process. What

We started our first ENIG process recently and to our surprise, we have many failure on the one and only BGA on the board. The BGA is a 31 mils pitch plastic. Sending the PCBA to 1 cycle of heating/cooling @ 70/-5 degree C yield 40% of failure. With

Hi mate, no complete info given from what i see, so just some humble comments, mayhaps you review : 1) PCB pad finishing - Copper+nickle plated? coz if so, nickle is a KILLER to good solder wetting. what we did back here, was to HAL coat the nickle

| | We process both tin/lead plated boards and gold plated boards in our surface mount group. I have used Sn62/Pb36/Ag2 solder paste on all gold plated boards to help prevent gold scavaging. To reduce the amount of different solder pastes we have t

Kyung Sam, Justin is correct, there is definately either a board design problem or the PCB maker issue. Obviously there are many mixed technology boards built in the world so I would lean towards a design issue as the root cause. Should you or you
