QFN assembled on a PCB indicates paramteric fails when tested. When the QFN on PCB is reflowed a second time, it recovers and passes testing. Visual, X-ray inspection revealed no anomalies. Cross-section images of solder joint revealed no anomalies (

Thanks all! I'm facing this issue with one specific batch of QFNs. It could be a plating issue. But, nothing was evident from visual inspection,No sign of voiding or non-wetting. Cross-section images of solder joints were clean as well. Could this s

"What can be done to create economical advantages over here is review the product flow and eliminate process steps with current existing technology. Process steps that can safely be eliminated are cleaning, visual inspection, post wave assembly etc.

AOI Omron VT-RNS-pt - Help with some basic programming questions
