Via in pad is the most efficient use of space. Blind via seems to be blamed for this. Cross-sections (send me some) will probably show a void still existing in the via or spherical voids aligned near the component pad side. One can estimate the vo

If the voiding is not related to entrapped air in your vias, consider trying a different paste.

Dreamy, Adding chemistry to the wash section in a cleaner does have its advantages. It reduces the surface tension of the liquid and will remove contaminates such as fingerprints. It does however complicate the process in respect to water treatment

Dear Kanwaljit Singh, my opinion is following: 1)solderpaste type is ok - usual (alpha-metals has this problem inside the paste paste- holder problem) - what do the operator when production change -clean well the stencil holes!! no visible rest on

Hello all, We have problem with voids in one of our product. We are soldering IC (package SO8) with under the components grounding connection. The ground pad for this component has 3 via holes (before producing we have to cover this 3 holes from b

First, Voiding under thermal pad is unavoidable(pardon the pun), unless you can find a way to add sufficient amount of solder paste to cover the area, and match that solder volume on your terminal leads. I build HVM qty's of "QFN" components w/ therm

Here’s what we seem to know: * There’s a problem with voiding in the solder connections of SMT capacitors * A void is an open area caused by air or process fluid that is trapped within a solder connection * Voids are an allowable condition as long as

| Hi, good friends | I found this site is so wonderful to learn SMT techniques meaningfully. | We now employ 3 Fuji GL-541 dispensors and raw material with Soma IR-120. but we found glue string casually. From my experience from trouble-shooting the c

| Does anybody out there have any special insights into utilizing no clean paste in high frequency RF applications? I would imagine there may be some issues with solder balls that would affect functional test (Earl, do you have something for me here?

I use TechSpray Wsol 2204-8SQ. This is a water soluble mask that is very thick and works pretty well for this application. Drying time depends on thickness and you should let it dry at least for a little while prior to running through the wave. Ea
