Yep, only the MLF have this blowhole/pinhole issue. Other components like SOT(transistor), CAP, RES are hey-o-kie. Btw, MLF = micro lead frame (IC/LGA) package. looks like a BGA without the solder balls. has direct attachment to the PCB ENIG pads wi

And check also your component company,sometimes component quality varies with the change of the company.

use the 2009MLF from Interflux it will take away your solder balls. this is a known issue.

Hi Chris, So you run eror free for 2 years, then change stencil aps and get problems. Why would you go smaller? Try using your old stencil with your no-lead.

Hello, why focuss only on the printer and the paste, maybe the problem isn't there, maybe the problem is in the oven, is the component a havy one? because leadfree solder can't lift as mutch as a leadcontaining solder. regards Bart

I use Namics 8437-2 for micro BGA and flip chips. Will work for QFN or MLF after soldering. Flows well under gaps as thin as 0.001". Cure in 5-10 min at 150 C. Rock solid product. Is bit expensive. Is from Japan.

Hi, Anyone seeing difficulty is soldering MLFs or QFN with lead free solder? I have an MLF with 3 rows of pads on each of the 4 sides of the part and then the large center ground plane in the middle. The part is 20 mil pitch. Had good luck with l

Hi, We were running with few defects with lead solder paste. The lead solder paste with stencil 0.010" X 0.020" and 0.004" thick stencil produced near defect free PCB assys. 0.010" X 0.020" (0.004" thick) lead = defect free 0.010" X 0.020" (0.005"

How wide are your pads? What paste are you using? What is your board finish? Could you please post a link to the datasheet for the component? We place a lot of MLFs, both in a Pb and Pb-free process. Our standard stencil design for MLF compon

xzinxzin, de' process engineer, Hi mate, am just making a wild guess, are you asking all this abt a certain MAXIM 3286/3296 MLF package that goes into a fibre optics produce, and is a product that numerous persons in this market are practically kno
