| Hello everyone, | I am currently running a gold plated SMT board and am experiencing tiny solder balls between the pads and the masking between the 20 mil pitch devices. I'm looking at these boards with a 60x microscope. IPC-610 say's any visible s

Hi! William, please check the new IPC-A-610 Rev C, para 12.4.10 for the soldeirng anomalies. Most of them may consider as process indicator and not the defect. The most common method to elimate the solder ball is to reduce the solder volume by red

I have experienced the exact same problem with excess solder touching the plastic component body. The solution in my case was simply to replace the stencil. I was using a reusable stencil frame that had been worn out. I replaced the stencil with a so

1 When you peel the solder connection of a BGA, * If solder remains on the soldered surface [eg, component, substrate, etc], it's good. * If some solder remains and some base metal is present, it's marginal. * If no solder remains, it's NG. 2 Try I

Sorry for stating this incorrectly. It should been: Bow & twist for bare boards and panels: IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, 10.6: 1.5% for PTH only and 0.75% for SMT, acording to test method TM-650, method 2.4.22 IPC-6012, par. 3.

Wow, rocket science with Nasa specs! I like it. I don't see the trick question here, so I'll continue.... IPC simply states over hang of round or flattened (coined) leads is acceptable (class 1, 2, & 3) if it "does not violate minimum electrical c

I have a question about inspection, touch-up, and how far you need to go to get a product that meets the required IPC-spec. According to some reports (i.e. "New Study Reveals Component Defect Levels" by Stig Oresjo of Agilent) the average defect leve
