I agree with your assessment of the two pins with irregular solder. The head-in-pillow or broken joint are both probable events for your defect. At this point in the process it will probably be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. If it was a broke

thanks kpm. agree the cause of those pads lifting. all of them were no connects so they cannot be the cause of the electrical failure. when the bga was removed, all the solder balls on the pcb turned into conical shape due to the separation, except

Thank you to Dave and Scott!! What I'm delaing with is mass production test for small memory cards in volume! The reason I choose Non-operating temperature cycling is so that I can deal with volume. I can throw in quite a few memory cards in chambe

We are having some difficulty soldering a 240 pin Altera device. We use Alpha WS-609, a very generic profile for that solder paste, and a 6 mil stencil with laser cut apertures (1:1 ratio). This is a 20 mil pitch device (aperture size is 10 mils X 75

Ok Eric, finally we know that the problem should be the PILLOW (sincerely, your photo is not very clear) and not the crack of the joint. There is a big difference on the failure mode of the two defects... If the problem is realy a pillow I only ca
