SMT Quality Standards (Where, Who, What)

Electronics Forum | Wed Apr 23 16:07:11 EDT 2003 | davef

There are no standards, nor should there be. Why would you want assess the quality requirements for an underhood product upon a company that makes talking furballs? We find that for the largest part, the approach taken by the rocket scientist that

Tombstone defect

Electronics Forum | Wed May 07 09:02:17 EDT 2003 | Kris

Hi SnAg is a binary alloy and does not have the same effect as a ternary SnAgCu alloy as far the pasty range is concerned. But then paste only can do so much. The best way to do it is to have proper pad design, controlled placement and reflow. I w

Dear sir, I think so with every idea , everyone is correct , paste , pattern of pad design ,profiling or solder mask on PCB ,and one of the cause of tombstone that I found is alignment of machine placing and solder printing , from my experience many

Number of times reworking

Electronics Forum | Tue May 27 10:34:30 EDT 2003 | davef

Much of the ability to survive rework or thermal excursions is dependent upon the fabrication materials. The board qualification criteria under the 55110 was designed around 5 thermal heat cycles. Consider reworking a BGA in this context. BGA i

15.7 mil QFP

Electronics Forum | Wed Jun 04 05:13:09 EDT 2003 | emeto

Hi Pete I agree with all that. But his question was "Are most people shying away from them in favor of BGA or do most people consider 15.7 mil to be "standard" technology these days?" So, the truth is people use both.QFP has advantages and disadvanta

Charlie- You answered your own question...1206, 0201, 0603, 0805, 0402 are all the package dimensions. In addition Here is a generic link from practical components that list most package sizes, feeder size, tape type... http://www.practicalcomponen

Routing Under Chips

Electronics Forum | Thu Jul 03 15:03:39 EDT 2003 | Jim Nunns

My design group wants to change our route keep out around all SMT parts to 5 mil even under the parts with zero standoff. Are others in the industry routing under parts that have no standoff? My fear is that we will get shorting if the mask is scaped
