Re: ???Why Inspect BGA's | 10 April, 1998

| Is there a good way to inspect BGA | balls ? Is there an inspection piece | of equiip.? The idea is to develope a process that eliminates insoection. BGA's, by the nature of the design, do not lend themselves to inspection. Even X ray is subjective, you cannot see a cold solder joint with x-ray. Most current placement machines have ball inspect software. This is all you should need. If your having a problem with your BGA's have your vendor fix the problem, your paying for a good part!
