Help us understand your situation by telling us about: * Is this a terminal-to-terminal short on a single MELF? Or is this a terminal-to-terminal short between or than one MELF? * Clearance of 0.8mm is the distance between what features? * Size ME

Good job clarifying things. So, your MELF are just rolling off the pads. So much for the rocket scientist that talked you into those �V� shaped apertures, eh? [Or taking it the other way: Wow, just think how bad it would be if they weren�t worki

You might wanna try a small reduction in your stencil aperture. For example, for a 30-mil pad go 26-mil square aperture with 8 to 10-mil radius on your corners. Also, look at your designs. Is there enough resist between your pad and ball? Another

Hi, I'm having a lot of problems with BGA's shorts, we are using 0.005" stencil aperture 1 to 1 (0.014)", the paste is centre (I can not measured the height)was verified using electronic microscopie, the placement is centre (I'm using local fiducials

I guess these boards only used Fly test. Flying needle test is one of the methods to check the electrical function of PCB (short circuit test). The flight test machine is a system for testing PCB in a manufacturing environment. Instead of using the

Hi Jax, After component placement, all melf diodes being checked & found no touching each other. Unfortunately, after reflow those MELFs are shorted.

Is the short apparent prior to reflow?

We had alot of problem with melf diode short together after reflow soldering. The clearance is about 0.8mm & we used "v" shaped opening . PLease comment !

After reflow, Are the end terminals of the melf packages touching or is it a paste bridge? What type of reflow are you using? IR?... Convection?

Hi all, * Defect : termial to terminal touching btw two melfs body that created short circuit. * Clearance : 0.8mm btw two melfs body. * Size melf : diameter=2.4mm to 2.7mm, length=4.8mm to 5.2mm * Stencil opening : "v" shaped to minimise component
