Chris: Whatever way you decide to define your pads, use the same type on the component and the board. Non-solder mask defined pad advantages: � No point-of-stress concentration at edge mask and solder ball � No CTE mismatch at edge mask and solder

Our design team have got a problem. We need to either drill out 6 vias/pads for a BGA site, or remove the solder balls form the BGA before they are palced. ( std eutectic) Has anyone used a vendor to remove balls from BGA (0.75mm piutch, ball size ap

While your peak temperature measurement is probably correct, you probably ripped the pads from the board long before reaching that temperature. By using a steep temperature ramp, you are causing the corners of the BGA to curl away from the board and

Barry, We do not see much in the way of solder splatter or solder balling. We have removed some parts but in the process of doing so we remove any useful evidence really. Quite a lot of the solderable portion of the part is on the underside. Like

No, is will not create random solder balls. I have experience doing this(When we had a big via in middle of filter cap which was sucking all solder ,leaving insufficient solder for a joint).I calculated volume of via hole to determine the expansion o

First some definitions, the two main types for solder masking near BGA pads are: 1 Pad, Non-Solder Mask Defined. In circuit board design, pads with spacing that does not allow solder (usually bumps) on the pads to contact the adjacent solder mask. [

You are correct about a TCE [CTE] mismatch issues in ceramic packages. The coefficient of thermal expansion [ppm/�C] of major ceramic package elements are: * Silicon - 3 * Standard 92% alumina ceramic � 6.5 * FR4 board � 18-20 Several points are: *
