We're not sure what your customer is talking about either. Gold and tin form an intermetallic compound [IMC] that can cause poor solder connections. To minimize the potential of a problem, keep gold to less than 3 percent of the metal. [Search the

Chris - You are not the first to see this problem. I have seen a similar case on parts from another company. There may be a way to "clean" the parts but I'm not aware of it. Maybe someone else will have an idea. I suggest you ask Motorola h

Also at few boards we see excessive voiding, extremily excessive. During solderind some bubbling can be observed near the soldering point. Boards was dried before assembly. May be we have a problem with too thin metallisation - that's why poor adhesi

Chris, can we share some more information? I am running Motorola 357 BGA with PN XPC860MHZP50C and the problem for me is a large amount of void (checked by 5DX). I checked the ball surface and found some sketch on every single ball (it may caused by

Glenn, we have been fighting perhaps the identical problem for nearly a year on a 1mm pitch BGA, we have performed numerous laboratory analyses of defective joints and virgin parts in an effort to specifically identify the cause of the no-wet joints.

Anyone have problems wave soldering white tin finish? We are an ems and our customer provides us the pcb's. SMT and TH components on the board. SMT is fine but when we wave solder, wetting to top side is very poor (solder only flows half way up). We

We are having problems soldering this motorola part(XPC860TZP50B5). After reflow, some of the balls appear to be sitting on the reflowed paste rather than wetted to it. We reviewed parts and found oxidation on many. We have four other BGA's, from oth

How in earthly heaven would someone else have a report analyzing the defects on your boards? Among the good failure analysis labs that can assess situations like yours are: * Robisan Laboratory 6502 East 21 St Indianapolis, IN 46219 317-353-6249 fax

Steve, I wave solder most if not all our boards with selective wave pallets. I did not catch if the solder balls were on top of the board or on the bottom but that will make a difference on what to do to get rid of them. Pallets are good and bad. On

First, your primary side component pads should be designed according to SM-782A, "Surface Mount design & Land Pattern Standard". Next if you did that and your secondary side component pads are the same size as your primary side components, your diff
