Stu, it is good you know that there are limitations and you want everything. Wish our designers work like that. So, the limitations we impose are dictated by the rails of the insertion and dispensing machines. Normally a .150" keepout will make a s

Boardhouse: Not to be confruntational, just trying to better understand what you're telling us. When you say, "Standard spacing most board houses would like to see is" blablabla. * What are the units of these dimensions? * You'd like to see these dim

We use a FKN pizza cutter and found that even with 5mm clearance and the proper orientation of the part larger ceramic capacitors 1812, 1210 would still stress fracture. We have successfully fixed stress fracture problems by adding routed relief slot

It depends. Are you hand breaking them, rotary knife or linear knife? Hand break you want to be about 5mm (and it isn't a great practice even then) with a rotart knife you want to keep parts probably 3mm, especially capacitors. With a linear knife we

Hi Greg, Have you resolved your problem yet? Daves reply to slow the belt may be your best bet. It appears you are not heating the BGA's uniformily. The temp in zone 6 seems to be a bit odd, are you trying to prolong the soak? If so, try to increase

Gregory, Thank you for posting the results of running your boards yesterday (glad to hear everything worked out well). I am sure other SMTneters are glad to see the sharing of their information helped. Perhaps others who have used information pr

FSW, Another suggestions is if you have rail on your product and you are concerned about stress fracturing certain components you could add a routed slot to add relief in that area. So when you snap the rail off their would be no stress in that area

If you have jobs where you can not, there is a company in Japan that makes the best v-groove depanelers called TST, 'guru's in v-groove depanelising'. Their systems can be supplied to reduce stress on cutting to near zero compared to CAB and other lo

Are there other components on the board? If so, how does solder quality look on them? Are they all reflowing? Are the sections of the uBGA�s sitting on a ground plane? Sounds like un-even heating. You should attach a couple thermal couples and see h
