To be honest with you, it doesn't really matter how you present the data, as long as you understand what the problems are. Bottom line is who cares what the numbers are unless you are doing something about it. Are you able to track the individual de

The tightest spacing between neighboring 0201 components assembled was 8-mils. Please refer to the response for the query entitled �Minimizing Tombstoning Defects� posted by martys, as the response provided there is also relevant to address this que

Bruce I�m with yall. Designers and fabricators say �pins�. You say: * BGA pins are 1mm [0.039�] pitch. * BGA pads are 0.4mm [0.0157�] diameter. * BGA pins are 0.6 mm [0.024�] side-to-side. * Board thickness is ~0.4 mm [0.015�] First, as you can

If you are getting solder shorts under a device, how would "hiding" the extra long pad with solder mask help? If the pad can't be seen once the device is in place, it is already "hidden". Getting your customer to redesign the pads may take some time

THIEVING * Layout: I�d guess the surface area of your thieves is not large enough. The pull from the thief is not great enough to over-come the pull from the connector pins and pads. Consider tripling the size of the thief. As you say, reducing t

Having just gine through a similar problem myself (with much less equip.) Here are a few things to consider and/or look at Do you have the proper pad size? It should be the same size as the pad on the BGA. Is the board warping during your operati

surely, a big picture perspective is in order to keep from charging off, tilting at windmills and waning Quixotic. Just to tic ya off a bit more (come on now, smile), would those 2 boards in rework have just one defect each or are there multiple def
