It is probably due to the solder mask being undercured and is porous alowing the flux to be absorbed which boils when it hits the solder wave that kills the adhesion. You should be seeing this only over copper traces/tracks. Reduce flux volume and in

Most of the conformal coating manufacturers recommend verifying the compatibility of their coating with the solder mask, so it's no surprise that occassionally there will be such issues. Are you sure your conformal coat is completely cured? If your

There is a wide range of BGA underfills to satisfy specific needs. Some are designed for those who place a premium on high speed, high volume processing, shock or drop test perforamnce, and ease of reworkability. Others are designed for those who p

Was this a lead-free capable material that fits into IPC 4101/126 or /129, like an Isola 370HR? I would not be surprised because from the picture I think I can see resin underneath the lifted copper, which is an interlaminate separate. This is a

I'm not in assembly, but I do know of a technology called Sipad if you are only looking to do small batches. They pre-apply the solderpaste to boards with a light adhesive, which allows you to hand-place components, even micro BGA's and fine-pitch Q

We're in the high reliability market and build to IPC Class 3 standards. I honestly don't know much about ESD but our in-house expert measured an 8kV charge on the board after printing with a plastic stencil and rubber squeegees. He wasn't too plea

I am looking for alternative, low cost materials to build ESD Safe Totes from. Standard totes really do not fit our products well. I would like to create custom, shielded totes with dissipative surfaces inside. Whether it is an ahesive film or paint

We are currently wirebonding MCMs with surface components located in very close proximity to wirebond pads, which are gold plated. We are ball bonding with 99.99% Au wire. Normally we do not have problems, however if product has been reflowed seve

Hi Rajeshmara, Mail sent with the datasheet of the glue we use in production. Thanks for first information you provide me for the shear specifications on 1206. But can you be more precise on this point ? How did you define it ? Is anyone have more
