We used Thermal Pads, made of black rubbery material, and sticky on both sides (like x2 side tape), intent is to place in between, BGA/QFP and the PCB board, and reduce the air-gap flow between, the PCB to SMD... air-gap will permit air flow, that i

David, you can beat around the bush interpreting criteria, but without X-ray you will not see anything. This is the way to go to inspect this solder joints properly. Criteria is 75% fillet and than you have circumference, air gaps in there....

Looks like a decent profile. Only recommendation I have would be to possibly try and high-temp solder the thermocouples rather than the aluminum tape/kapton, only because you can get air-gaps and inaccurate readings using the tape method on assemble

Dear Experts, Have any paper or data talking about the design guideline for avoiding BGA solder bridge? I desire to know the rule(guideline)that compare difference stencil thickness and safe solder design distance (air gap) can avoid bridge.

I know you said you checked your clamps but another look will do no harm. we had a very similar issue a while back, and it turned out that the plastic shim under the chase clamp magnet was damaged. This caused the chase clamps not to release properly

Does anyone have any off-the-shelf tool for measuring air gaps under components? Specifically to measure if a part is raised beyond special specifications, such as determining if a leaded connector is raised beyond 5, 10 or 20 mils from the PCB surf

Dear davef, All of this are takling about how to improve release solder paste, Area ratio, aspect ratio...etc, but i want to learn the "When design BGA stencil which the safe air gap between solder paste in difference stencil thickness", this can he

You have lost me, its a stencil, you can change the aperture size, you can change the thickness and you can change the walls of the aperture. And all of those things will be in the papers anyone can find with a google. I have no clue what safe air g

I'm just getting into temperature profiling our PCB's. We recently bought a new reflow oven. The company purchased a mole before I was hired. This is what I will be using. What is the preferred way to attach the thermocouples to the PCB locations of

In a former life, we used hi temp solder. I've heard of adhesive and taping methods, we just never used them. We too had a "golden" assembly that we would use for routine profiling. Our requirement was to attach a TC to the lowest thermal mass, hi
