Hi folks. If the solder is on the BGA but is not soldered at all on the pads, then you can discard BGA solder issues, by the other hand; you might be experiencing wicking due to heat is being absorbed on component so the balls on BGA are hotter than

I have done this before, We print with a 5-6mil stencil and have had no problems with any underneath solder. If you are still nervous instead of removing from stencil use some 3 mil kapton tape or equivelant and tape off the BGA pads. This way the

When rushing to get a job done, it's easy to accidently remove solder mask from a nearby via when dressing BGA pads after removing the part. Just hit the via with some super glue [then say a small prayer] and push on. As an alternative, look here:

Use a PCB fab house that is capable of "Conductive Via Filling" is the way to do it right. A conductive epoxy is used to fill the drilled via PRIOR to final plating. After final plating, the surface of the "Filled Via" will appear to be the same as t

Hello everyone.Ihave an Intel 855pm Northbridge and when i removed the chip,i lifted 4 pads one of them is VSS so i dont care it but the 3 other is:HI 4 ,HI8 and HI 6 (hub interface for cmos i/o or simply hub interface ).Are the vital or only testing

IPC-7525 tells you how to make stencil apertures for BGA IPC-7095 tells you how much should be the paste volume in order to get a reliable BGA solder joint. How are your PCB finisced? (HASL, ENIG, OSP, etc?) In case of not HASL, it could be necessa

Sorry, we didn't do a good job of understanding your question. For more on delamination, look here: http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=54655 ... but we're not so sure that this is a straight delamination issue, because: * One

This is from a section of an ALtera EP2SGX130-5 STRATIX 2 leadfree 1,508 ball BGA. What can be causing this? It is from an unused board (not assembled in a unit, or in the field, but it did pass electrical and function test. There are three of them i

We all know those academic 'reliability studies' are very focused and only give a snapshot of real life. The real reliability studies of leadfree are starting as we scramble to meet our numbers. We have no idea about your customers' expectations ab

I assume you mean the balls of the BGA, not pads (laugh it up guys - I said balls). If so, you may have a no-lead BGA or a high temp BGA.
