Hi All, Just wondering if anyone is placing 0201 components in volume. If so What pad layout are you using, i.e. pad size, shape and spacing. Also are you pads and fiducials solder mask defined or copper defined. Can you also let me know the rough q

To measure two 0201 pads, you need to solder two thermocouples for each component pin on different segments. Thermocouple wire should be 36AWG.

In reworking 0201, we: * Cut the 0201 in half with a side cutter * Heat the solder on each pad separately and flick the half 0201 off the board * Preheat a new component to +150°C with a hot plate * Solder a new 0201 on the undressed pads with a hot

A large pad nearby receives heat - the resistor pads heat up unevenly ?

Agree. The big pad and part nearby made the paste on two ends of cap melted unevenly.Deposit more paste on the tombstone-ed pad will make it easier to melt. Nothing wrong with profile if everything else is OK. BTW, how to measure temperature on two e

Q1:A picture of the sectioned MLCC would be nice. A1: I don't think I can post pics in this (if anyone knows otherwise let me know), so I will email them to anyone who's curious. R1: You�re correct. You cannot post pix on SMTnet. Please email me t

It really depends on pad design and other component on the PCB. Most of the time I run 0201s I have microBGAs on the board and usually print 3mil. Reduction will depend on the paste. For leaded paste you will have reduction (about 10% or so).For Lea

Tough to say based on what you have told us. Things to Determine are: * Is the heat at the solder connections that are not reflowing properly adequate? * Is the pad surface of the solder connections that are not reflowing properly solderable?

Yannick, If we leave the 201 issue aside; have you checked where those BGA pads are connected to? Could those be power/ground balls connected to large (difficult to heat up) planes by any chance? Erhan
