Hi all, We had similar problems a while back. Boards would fail at test but if you applied pressure to the BGA they would pass. Turned out that during the PTH assembly process the Operators were flexing the cards during the insertion of an Oupin C

We had some materials management brainiac insist that every component of a product had to have an exact quantity stated on the BOM so we had to weigh every board with and without paste printed. We rented a 4 place digital scale, weighed 5 of each boa

looks like the board has gone through and not actually fluxed properly,trying hand applying and it should fix it. IF it still occurs put the pallet through without pcb and without flux and see what residues come off in the wave. residues you are seei

bsumfg, The very best anybody said lately!! This should go straight into the the manual! I totally agree with you; Just an add: The fid's should never be mistaken for a test point who normally is between 1.0 - 1.27 mm so make the fids 1.5 mm. round

We assume the silk screen is epoxy. If so,: * Easiest: 'black-box' the undesired area by printing epoxy on top of the undesired area. You could use a stamp-pad easily. * Fairly-easy-but-messy: use a Dremmel-type tool to remove the undesired area. Thi

Shane, We're assuming that the software is similar to our Heller 1800. We're also assuming that the oven has thermocouple ports, and that you have the thermocouples to plug into them. From the screen that displays the zone data, there should be a

Paul, I would do two things, eval whole lot for any etching issues as shown above and scrap and two I would have your copper thickness checked, my guess your copper plating will be low. Check plating thickness in Via holes - if less then 8/10th's r

Well, it wasn't as easy to figure out the root cause. The last image is below. It shows how the board finish looks like (the trace was under solder mask). AS you can see, the layer of E-Ni is spliting (the board shop admitted the problem afterwards).
