QFN or MLFs are mainstream now, QFNs already evloved to much more complex versions now like matrix pins, stacked dice and flipchip versions. IPC 610D already includes them, just make sure the pins have solder plating, the PWB pads have soldermask in

I am having a problem with some joints on a 100 pin pqfp and few different soics on one particular board. When viewed a 8x with a "Mantis" inspection scope the joints look as though they wetted to the ic leg but when probed the leg will pop loose.

We have a problem with QFN IC's with NiPdAu plated pads. Our ULC's don't see the pads due to the almost ideal reflection. Vision sees the pads almost black. As we don't have OAL-cameras (which can help in this case, I assume), I am thinking of back-l

We recently purchased a Mirtec AOI machine, it take a bit to program but overall we are pleased. The machine has a downward looking camera, we have had some issues with the machine not catching opens. When a IC has it's legs bent straight up off th

Hi All, I am using YV100Xg YAMAHA Pick and Place Mounter Machine and I am facing a tilting problem of PLCC 84 and QFP 240 pins ICs. I deeply checked about their vision files and place them on the double sided tape and found them ACCURATE on their pad

We have a ceramic BGA that the component supplier has misaligned the spheres in the fixture so they slant .007" out of alignment from the substrate pads. When the devices are tested at the component manufacturer this alignment issue also causes the

We will wave solder a board with SOIC14 and SOIC16 parts on the bottom. It has been difficult to find any specific wave solder process recommendations from manufacturers of the SOICs. The pad geometry utilizes theiving pads on both sides to reduce br

I like what you're doing. 20 years ago anyone, hobbyists and tiny garage-shop companies could create electronics devices just as sophisticated and cool as big corporations. Today, SMT has largely trashed the creativity (and competition) that existe
