We have an electronic circuit with a miniature stepper motor, quartz crystal, Electrolytic capacitor,chip resistors and few smt LEDs. The PCB material is CEM1 with SMOBC and HALS finish. This circuit is assembled in a plastic casing and goes in to a

Questions: 1. Is this a retail product sold as PCB only? Or is this in a finished chassis / case (like an external modem)? 2. Are the customers damaging only the BGA devices? Like prying them up with a screw driver? What? You can dam and fill

To prevent BGA (Ball Grid Array) issues related to SMT (Surface Mount Technology) solder resist when fabricating a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), you can follow these guidelines: Design considerations: Ensure proper spacing between BGA pads

I was recently given a copy of the "Tin Whisker Agency Action Notice" I was then asked to recommend and implement a action to prevent the suseptible components from reaching our stockroom. Since I can not commit my personel to activly research which

Although DaveF's answer was probably more applicable and there is some really good info on Tin Whiskers it doesn�t really answer the question either from what I saw. I suspect this will become a much larger issue as we all are weaned off of lead!

With a BGA, how much solder paste are you putting on the pads? sometimes, bridging occurs when there is more solder paste than needed during reflow.....just a thought

Try using some of those new polyimide stencils. They are 8mils thick and can prevent shorting if it is due to solder mask problems or too much paste. http://www.solder.net/technical/tips.asp BWET
