Air gap on the PCB is determined the pad spacing which in turn is governed by the component. As long as the PCB designer is following the typical BGA layout best practices; i.e no open via in pad, non-solder mask defined pads, solder mask covered tra

Hey Vinny, Sorry I haven't looked at this for a while. 3 things to try: Tombstoning- The ground plane side is larger because the solder mask allows for a little slop at the board shop (clearance around a pad of a few mils). Since there is not a defi

If the package is robust enough to handle surface mount followed by a pass through the wave soldering process, we have had excellent results populating the fine pitch parts with the P&P machine, reflow, then mask the solder joints prior to wave solde
