Good Morning, I have seen many posts regarding BGA voiding being excessive and what can be done to better the condition. I have a customer that has an assembly that we have had a diufficult time with. We have spent a lot of time debugging the proces

Has any one considered the melting eutectic of the plated part verses the eutectic of the paste it self. Inter metallic solids can form when mixing metals. Thus this causes solder joint reliability. Also a lot of vendors are putting out pure tin prod

Welcome to RoHS. Or, at least, to the version of RoHS that I've had to deal with since I started with my current company. Blowholes and pinholes seem to be common in PB-free manufacturing. At least, they have for me here. I also note that IPC has

Laser cut 0.13mm stencil thicknes works great for us. BTW, are we talking RoHS solder paste? We do reduce the stencil apertures to 88 % of the pads when we go for the RoHS solder paste. Otherwise we go fo 96% reduction in general with some excemption

I think they need to go after the real lead contaminants. PCB/electronic waste accounts for .01% of lead waste based upon my last info I rec'd. So this lead free agenda is really going to help alot isn't it. I believe that most of the lead contami

I agree that something has to be done with the lead waste but I believe that a recycling program is a better alternative to lead-free. Isn't silver more toxic? How about the venting of alternate alloy fumes, let alone the effects on operators. I say

You're right that us in the automotive market are exempt, but that just delays the inevitable by two or three years. Our customers, especially Japanese, are pushing us to provide Pb free products in the '08/'09 timeframe so that the end customers ge

Greetings from Mexico I can see several good opinions about the "real" need to chnage to Lead-Free processes, but at the end and trying to be real, is there any good path we could follow to stop this process? I can see a lot of work, investment in eq
