Hi Guys, We prints solder paste on via hole as the holes are used as the test points. This is a clean process. In normal production, upon completion of a primary side, board will proceed to secondary process immediately. The problem happened when

Hi Sergey, Do you know the Moisture Sensitivity Level of the component ? This is normally recorded on the DRY PACK that the device comes in. It is not unusual for a device to POP CORN and still work in test. It depends how much damage there is to th

Hi, I also paid attention on the solder balls.. I thought it was because of the pop-corning, but the customer told me the component was not damaged.. Regarding the bunch of tented vias, I need to ask the customer about that. Probably, they have unpo

You're correct. It is curious. Possible angles to look at are: 1 WS609 loves moisture in the air. In high humidity shops, this paste hakes-on liquid. If this is the case, you should also see slumping, resulting in fine pitch bridging, and solder

I have gold fingers that I want to mask when running over the wave without pallets. They're on the leading edge of the board. I recall seeing rubber boots that slid onto the fingers to mask them. Pop 'em on before the wave; pop' em off after and r

Hi everyone I am in the process of reviewing our storage of SMT components. At the moment they are pretty much on open shelves in the factory environment. We endevour to reseal components labled 'moisture sensitive' in their original packaging, bu

I have a 208 pin QFP that due to manufacture obsolescence I have to get them form the broker market. I've had several issues with the parts including; bent leads, leads that don't take solder very well, co-planarity problems, and DOA fallout after a

My experience with different size boards and pre-heaters. The perfect world (right?) you would saturate the complete pcb with bottom pre-heat. But it is difficult with repair and rework equipment, not to mention the expense and foot print of large pr

Hello, Manufacturing process with high moisture and humidity environments and long term storage will definitely see pop corning effects once high temperature from soldering and/or re-flow process. The moisture that has been adsorbed is likely the ro
